hehehehehe!! No... none of us are nuts :) I said it worked co'z I know that
"\n" is for newline I replaced it with "\s" may be Robert made a typo error.
The IndexOf is working your right... I just made a mistake on how to use it,
again Robert gives me an Idea on how to use it. Thanks a lot guys!! your

Subject: [javascript] RE: Locate a character on a string


I am confused.

First, Sidney says he can't get the indexOf method to find a space ("
") character in a string.  I don't see why not.  It works fine for me:

	alert("Space is at = " + "This is a string, with spaces".indexOf(" "))

Then Robert tells Sidney to use a regular expression that matches a
newline ("\n") character in order to find a space character; and
Sidney says "Thanks...it worked."

Is this entire exchange nuts, or am I?
