Look at the methods in String's API docs. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

I prefer

indexOf

public int indexOf(String str)Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified substring. The integer returned is the smallest value k such that:

this.startsWith(str, k)

is true.

Parameters:

str - any string.

Returns:

if the string argument occurs as a substring within this object, then the index of the first character of the first such substring is returned; if it does not occur as a substring, -1 is returned.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if str is null.
