Does anyone know how to find the index of a substring or character in a string?

Hi lstewart,

try this

Code: Select all

setlocal

set str=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyz

call :indexOf result "%str%" "e"
echo %result%
goto :eof

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:indexOf <resultVar> <str> <find>
SETLOCAL
set "str=%~2"
call set "part=%%str:%~3=&rem.%%"
set partB=%part%
call :strLen partB len
( ENDLOCAL
set %~1=%len%
EXIT /b
)

the :strLen function is from the DosTips-Library

hope it helps
