If/Then Contains string

[platnm0705]

I am trying to display a field only if a string contians a certain character, for example (I know the code is wrong, just an example):

IF str1 CONTAINS "this character"
THEN result = "it works"
ELSE result = "not working"

In my real case I need to search a string for an asterisk (*) and only show the string if it contains the asterisk:

IF RS("notes") CONTAINS "*" THEN
response.write " RS("notes") "


Any help would be much appreciated

Try

If str1.IndexOf("*") > 0 Then

The TheBearMay's suggestion works for JScript. This is how in vbScript
If instr(str1, "*") Then

The TheBearMay's suggestion works for JScript. This is how in vbScript
If instr(str1, "*") ThenI was thinking VB.Net also contained an IndexOf() function, but since we're in the ASP and not the ASP.Net Forum.... :cool:

Russell,
It works perfectly! Thanks much for the fast reply

My code (if you care):

If instr(RS("notes"), "*") Then
response.write "<table>"
response.write " RS("notes") "
response.write "</table>"
else
end if
