How do I get the _last_ occurrence of a character in a string.


This is a bit kluge too but..

Protected Function LastInStr(a as string, key as string) As Integer
   dim result,start,pos as integer
   start = 1
   do
      result = pos
      pos = a.instr(start,key)
      start = pos + 1
   loop until pos = 0
   return result
End Function
