You can do it yourself in your own code!
BasicSharp allows to define functions that can be used within basic scripts.

Example for contains:

using System;
using BasicSharp;

namespace MyApp
{
    class Program
    {
        public static Value Contains(Interpreter interpreter, List<Value> args)
        {
            if (args.Count < 2) // We expect 2 argument
                throw new ArgumentException();

            string a = args[0].Convert(ValueType.String).String; // convert argument to make sure it is string
            string b = args[1].Convert(ValueType.String).String;

            return Value(a.contains(b) ? 1.0 : 0.0); // convert true/false into 1 or 0
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string code = "print contains(\"hello world\", \"world\" )";
            Interpreter basic = new Interpreter(code);

            // add our 'contains' function to basic interpreter 
            basic.AddFunction('contains', Contains);

            basic.printHandler += Console.WriteLine;
            basic.inputHandler += Console.ReadLine; 
            try
            {
                basic.Exec();
            }
            catch (BasicException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
                Console.WriteLine(e.Line);
            }
        }
    }
}

Above code was written from memory without trying to compile it.
