Finding a character in a string

Hello Everyone:

What do I use to find the position of a certain character in a string? Let’s say I had a number 12345.6789 I want to know how far the decimal point is from the left? Of course the position of the decimal will change as the number will change.

Thanks

Art W.

try this:

vb Code:

dim d as decimal = 12345.6789D
msgbox(d.tostring.indexof("."c))
