Search for letters in a String [solved]

[MaxLindquist]

How do i search for one letter in a String? For example the third letter in Word="Hello". The thought is that i that way can use:

if (the third letter in Word)=="l":

Thanks!

Try this:

if string.index(some_string, some_sub_string) == 2:
       .. do_something..

I'd say don't forget to import string, BUT 2.4 docs say:
4.1.4 Deprecated string functions

index(s, sub[, start[, end]])
Like find() but raise ValueError when the substring is not found.
So, use:

someStr.index(subStr)
 

but that needs to be wrapped in a try block. So use

index = someStr.find(subStr)
if index != -1:
    # do something knowing someStr[index] == subStr if subStr is on character.
 

Try this:

if string.index(some_string, some_sub_string) == 2:
.. do_something..

maybe this is just to obvious but if you only want to test the third letter of a string named word try this:

if word[2] == 'l':
    ...
