How to find a character in a string

[batnoob]

I would like to search the value of a variable for a certain character (a period)
I tried findstr and jrepl, but all i got was errors (maybe I used the syntax wrong?). Could anyone help me?
Thanks,
BatNoob

Do you just want to know if the string contains that character, or do you need to know exactly where in the string it is? Those are two very, very different solutions.

i need to know if it is in the string

Code: Select all

IF NOT "%string:.=%"=="%string%" echo character found
