How to get INDEX of word inside a string

You'll want to use the IndexOf function on a string. This will tell you the starting character position of the word, character, etc that you're looking for.

Here is an example console app:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        String testing = "text that i am looking for";
        Console.Write(testing.IndexOf("looking") + Environment.NewLine);
        Console.WriteLine(testing.Substring(testing.IndexOf("looking")));

        Console.ReadKey();

    }

This will output:
15
