hi all,
Index function is not working for finding "{",
how can we overcome this problem.
thanks in advance.

hello,
use "~" symbol before the special characters like "{" .
for example index(str, "~{") <> 0 then message "found" view-as alert-box.

It displaying "zero" only.

thanks for reply,
i got the solution
we can get that position during runtime.
example:
def var str as char no-undo.
update str with frame a.
disp INDEX(str,"~{").

in this example give "{" in input in anywhere of the string.
thanks all.
