Default space from right

Public Function LastOfThese(LineOfText$, Character$) As Integer
' Finds the position of the last time the Character appears in the LineOfText
' e.g. "0123456,789,012,345,67,8,9,000" and "," gives 27
' It returns Zero if the Character does not appear in the LineOfText

Dim N As Integer, C As Integer

LastOfThese = 0
For N = 1 To Len(LineOfText$)
If Mid$(LineOfText$, N, 1) = Character$ Then LastOfThese = N
Next N

End Function
