Question

I have a string that goes like "abcdefg..."

I would like to find the index where the letter d is at, so I can get the number 3.

I managed to do it by looping through each letter in the string, but that doesn’t sound very convenient. Is there another way?

Answer 1

The String class exposes some methods to enable this, such as IndexOf and LastIndexOf, so that you may do this:

Dim myText = "abcde"
Dim dIndex = myText.IndexOf("d")
If (dIndex > -1) Then

End If
