what?

You enter the word "pen" then you enter the letter "p" and the output is 3 means location of "n"? where did the "n" come into it?

Also, indexers start at 0, so n is actually at index 2 :)

Solution 4

string str = TextBox1.Text;
int position = str.IndexOf(TextBox2.Text)+1;
Label1.Text = position.ToString();

use it u will get the result i used +1 as indexing starts from 0.

Solution 1

Try this:

C#

string _text = text1.box;
int _location = text.IndexOf(@"n");

_location will contain the location of 'n'.
