Remarks

While any character in Cset is found, the start position of the range or selection is moved. This method returns the number of characters that the start position of the range or selection moved as an Integer value. If no Cset characters are found, the range or selection isn't changed and the method returns 0 (zero). If the start position is moved forward to a position beyond the original end position, the end position is set to the new start position.
