Code:
Dim SearchWithinThis As String = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP"

Dim SearchForThis As String = "DEF"

Dim FirstCharacter As Integer = SearchWithinThis.IndexOf(SearchForThis)

Have you tried that yet? It's straight from the MSDN library.

Try Instr() function . It returns the position of the first occurrence of one string within another.
