Finding a character in a string

[Art W.]

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

try this:

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