I want to find a particular character in a string, and then find the
length of the string after this point in the string, so that I can do a
rightpad on it if it is of a certain length (basically I want to pad a
monetary value if it is for example 12.5, so that it becomes 12.50).
I can think of a long winded way to do it by using a foreach loop to
find the '.', but is there a specific function in C# to find a character
in a string?
Cheers,
Mike

hi Mike,
use the method String.IndexOf( char) to find the position
of a character.
Cheers

Thanks for your help everybody. I've found a much easier way to do what
I was trying to do, simply formatting the string as a currency :
String.Format(" {0:c}", string);
Cheers,
Mike

I'm trying to figure out how to find the last whitespace character in a
varchar string. To complicate things, it's not just spaces that I'm
looking for, but certain ascii characters (otherwise, obviously, just
use LEN). My initial thought was to REVERSE it, find the location
(using CHARINDEX) looking for each of those characters (so, multiple
queries), then subtract that from the LEN of the string.
The problem I'm running into is that...

I want to return the name of the drawing file (DWG) from the end of a string.
The string will be of varying lengths... as well as the drawing file name
itself.
I could do it the long way by getting the length of the string, and
subtracting one character at a time until I hit the '\' character... then
I'll know how much to subtract to get my file name.
An example of the string is:

I'm using PHP to create a simple, dynamic MySQL SELECT query.

The SELECT query is built as follows:

Hello,

From PHP I send mail. But, if possible I want to send

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
