charAt for String in Ebasic?

[David McFarlane]

Junho,

Just to clarify, by "get the index of a particular character in a 
string" you actually mean "get the character at a particular index in 
a string" (I  Googled "java charat" to verify that).  For both that 
and getting substrings, see the "Mid, Mid$, MidB, MidB$ (functions)" 
topic in the E-Basic Help facility.  Note BTW that VBA/E-Basic 
strings are not objects as they are in Java.

(And to get something akin to "get the index of a particular 
character in a string", see the "InStr, InStrB (functions)" topic in 
the E-Basic Help facility -- I do not know what the Java equivalent 
might be for that.)

Good luck,
-----
