Well, the best solution is built-in:
Found here and here.
Edit: Almost forgot to mention that string.find and string.sub act strangely in CC, as noted here
local needle = "he"
local haystack = "he dances and runs"
print(string.find(haystack, needle)) -- prints "true"
needle = "this isn't in haystack"
print(haystack:find(needle)) -- prints "false" (if you like OOP-type stuff)
