Finding a Character in a String Using VBA

B

BVass

Hi,

I am trying to return an integer for the number of characters from the left
of a string that the character "/" is located.

I need to do this using VBA as I am trying to trim the value of a cell.

Can anyone help?

Use the InStr function...
InStr(start, string1, string2, compare type)
