Want to check whether following string exists in the existing string or not:-

Code:
str1 = "(%,&amp;,_,?,#,=,-) :"

str2 = "abcd(%,&amp;,_,?,#,=,-) :xwyz"

comparestr = instr(str2 ,str1)

Am getting failure.

I have used escape character like as below as well

Code:
str1 = "\(\%,\&amp;,_,\?,#,=,-\) :"

Still failure.
Any help will be appreciated.
