Alternative to using InStr

Question

how can I use a different function \"InStr\" this is the code that I am using and works fine but moving away from InStr is my goal

i = InStr(1, Hostname, Env         


        

Answer 1

If you need equivalent C# code you can use Strings class from Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly, thus code can be like following:

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
. . . 
i = Strings.InStr(1, Hostname, Environment.NewLine);

Another approach is using appropriate String.Indexof function.
