  What is "InStr" method?

  Oct 04, 2004 02:25 AM|LINK

  Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
          Dim SearchString, SearchChar As String
          Dim MyPos As Integer
  
  
          SearchString = "XXpXXpXXPXXP"  ' String to search in.
          SearchChar = "P"   ' Search for "P".
         
  
  
  
          MyPos = InStr(SearchString, SearchChar)   ' Returns 9.
          Response.Write(MyPos & "
  
  ")
  
  
      End Sub

  Would you mind explanning how to use "InStr" from the above code? I don't know how to read it. I have tried using the debug tool and find the .NET framework document(library). But I don't know how to use it as well. thx your help.

  Also .Net framework as inbuild function String.IndexOf. That also does same purpose I guess, As that's part of CLS, I woudl suggest you to use that in future! @ String.IndexOf Hope it helps!
