What would the code be to find the next character in a string

I have so far

Strtemp = instr(strin," ")
I just donʼt know what to put between the " " to get the count to the next
character. No matter what the next character is.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Your example is not very illuminating.
1) InStr() returns a Number value, not a string value, so StrTemp
should be a number variable, not a string variable.

2) What do you mean by 'find the next character' in a string?
What do you mean by this " No matter what the next character is"?
How can you search for a character if you do not know what it is?

To use InStr()....
InStr("YourString","r") = 4
if the count starts at the before the first "r" of the string.
InStr("YourStrings" = 7
if the count starts after the first "r".

If you meant something else, please re-think your question and post
back.
