I have this following code:

The string tempSTR = "
Heading"

Notice that their is a Carriage Return and/or line feed before the
stirng value of "heading?" What I was wanting to do with this code is
for the variable x to equal to location of the first carriage
return/line feed/new line caracter (ASCII 13 or 10 values). But it
seems that when I run this the value of x= 9 instead of 1 why is this?

Bascially I am porting a VBA program into a C# program for a word
automation application I wrote. In VBA this is what I had for this
function:

x = InStr(1, tempStr, chr(13))

In VBA x = 1 not 9. Does anyone know of a whay to make the c#
expression equal 1 instead of 9?

Why are you asking this in comp.lang.*c*?

/* BEGIN new.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
char *tempSTR = "\nHeading";
char *ptr;

ptr = strchr(tempSTR, '\n');
if (ptr != NULL) {
printf("\ntempSTR[%d] is a newline character.\n",
(int)(ptr - tempSTR));
}
return 0;
}

/* END new.c */
