How do I search a string for a letter?

[jvff]

Hello,
I am making a PC Player program (see

http://www.jvffprogramming.hpg.com.br

for more info) and I need to read a command from a file. I loaded it into MemoHidden and now I need to check MemoHidden.Lines.Strings[1] to see if it has the character '(' and the position it is to SetLen to remove the characters '(' and after '('. How do I check the pos of '(' ? Please help me. ThanQ, ;-)

Hi

Simply use POS function
e.g
yourstring:=MemoHidden.Lines.Strings[1];
i:=POS('(',yourstring);

Bye
