Is there a search method that can match special characters with their standard counterpart? For example: I'd like a search for "Sao" to find a match in "So Tom and Prncipe" etc. I don't really know where to start, I could store the country name twice, once as regular and once including special characters, but then I'd have to search both... ...

7. Is there a way to search for a Characters location in a String without using lastindexOf    coderanch.com

Sure, the for-loop should work fine. I don't see why it's a problem to print out the location of the character, given that you must have extracted the character from that same location just a couple of lines of code earlier. But if you have some particular code to discuss, go ahead and post it.

Hello all, I have a string, such as Washington DC, United States, and I need to do a search to see if the string contains the characters w, i, and n. They don't have to be in any particular order, just contained in the string. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

12. Character search    forums.oracle.com

Binary searches will only help you if the strings are ordered. (for example like this: "aaabbdqtzzz") Look: if you're counting the occurances of a character in a string, you have to look at every single character to see if it matches. So looping through the string is ultimately what you're doing, even if you were to find a more succinct or ...
