finding a string in richtext box...

[Matrixxx]

i am trying to find a string in a richtext box and this is what i do...

for example the content of my richtextbox is

a
a
b
a
b


i do rich.selstart = 0
rich.find "a"
then i get the positiion of the first a.

But how do i do now to find the second or third a?
I only can find the first.

thanks,

Pos = RichTextBox1.Find
Pos = RichTextBox1.Find, Pos

Do you want to fin out how many "a's" there are, or are you looking for the position of each "a"?

no i have to make a small class module where i must be able to find the second a.

for example:
user: blablbal
date: blablabl
user:bliblibli

so then i can find name of second user.

Sorry, my mistake

Pos = RichTextBox1.Find
Pos = RichTextBox1.Find, Pos + 1
