If you're really looking through a string -- not an array, you could use VBA's
Instr to find the first position.

And if you're using xl2k or higher, you could use RevInStr to find the last
position.

Hi all,

Is there a function in vba to search occurrence of a letter and return
its index?
I need to find the first and nth index of a character in an array.

Array: (****+++++++**)

I need to find out the first occurrence of + and last occurrence of +
in the array. I got the result by looping thru the array but was
hoping
to find out a smaller function to achieve this.

Thanks for the help.
