Whats the easiest way to get a specific character from a string?
I'm used to strings being an array of characters and being able to get a specific character out of that string. But there doesn't seem to be a command to specify capturing from a start and endpoint of a string.

What should I do?

use the mid$() command

like this


for i = 1 to len(string$)
if mid$(string$,i) = mychar$ then match = 1
next i

Doesn't mid$ give you the entire string of characters starting from value?

From what it looks like, the mid$ function should work something like

Mid$(String,StartValue,NumberofCharacters) if the number of characters value is 0 then it should read to the end.
