String Question

[GoneNuts]

Hi people dose any one know how to search a string for first character?

E.g so if my string was "Hello" I would like to select the first character "H".

Also is there a way of knowing the amount of characters contained in the string?

Thanks People.

You might want to read some documentation, cause these are pretty basic concepts.

length of string:
stringvar.length

first character in string:
stringvar.charAt(0);

if u have:
var string:String = "hello";

string.charAt(0) will give u first char and so on.

string.length will give u the length
