in a worksheetfunction you'd use the search or find function
=SEARCH(CHAR(10),a1)

in VBA:

use the InStr function.
dim iPos%
ipos = instr("where's the linefeed", vblf)

xl2000 and newer also have an InstrRev() function
which search from the end of the string to give you the LAST occurance
of the substring.

note:
vblf is a constant used in VB(a) for chr(10)
vbcr = chr(13)

see VBA help for the full monty.

I have a string with *Chr(10)* in it.

I want to know the position of this Chr(10) so I can cut off the
string starting from this Chr(10).

What function gives this position?

Thx
