string.find returning nil

[jaooe]

Why is string.find returning nil with;

[lua]
local str = "a"

local result = string.find(str,"ab")
[/lua]

Because it is not finding ab since the string is only a

The correct format is, as Baig might have pointed out, is

string.find( Haystack, Needle );

Opposite many programming languages.
