Do you mean that you have a string containing "ABCD - 123"? If so, use
Instr().

'Strings.InStr', 'String.IndexOf'.

dim i as integer = YourString.IndexOf("-")
if i < 0 the pattern does not exist in the string, otherwise, "i" has
the offset of the start of the string.

Dim s As String = "ABCD - 123"
Console.WriteLine (s.IndexOf ("-"))
or
Dim s As String = "ABCD - 123"
Console.WriteLine (InStr (s, "-"))

The "proper" .NET way would be to use the IndexOf method.

The "proper" .NET way would be to use the IndexOf method.
But surely, then you should check that the string isn't Nothing first or you
could get an ArgumentNullException . Why do you consider the VB.NET method
as not "proper" when programming in VB.NET? Would you exclusively use
"String.Concat" rather than "&" ?.
