InStr Function in VB.NET
What happened to the InStr Function in VB.NET? There is no starting position for the function. My question is how would I find the 2nd, 3rd etc. ocurrence in a string. Thanks for the help.
In VB6 I would simply do something like:
Dim tag_open As Integer
Dim tag_close As Integer
Dim str As String
str = "[This is a Test],[This is a test 2]"
tag_close = 1
Do
tag_open = InStr(tag_close, str, "[")
If tag_open = 0 Then Exit Do
tag_open = tag_open + 1
tag_close = InStr(tag_open, str, "]")
Debug.Print Mid(str, tag_open, tag_close - tag_open)
'tag_close = tag_open + 1
Loop

But it isn't offered by 'Intellisense'. Only the older (VB3?) - without the start position pops up.
