Find a letter in string using indexOf?

Hi.

I have an input field. say you type in your name. "mike"
I want to have an array or list and push in the name character by character.

So can I use something like stringName.indexOf("2");
and get "k"?

Or whats the best way to break the name down in individual characters?

 

This ought to work:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. string name = "What ever";
3. List<char> characters = new List<char>();
4.  
5. for(int i = 0; i < name.Length; i++) {
6.   characters.Add(name[i]);
7. }
8.  

 

A string can be accessed like an array. E.g. "mike"[2] returns 'k'.

 

Thank you PGJ,

I had something very close to that but thx for sorting it out for me.

 

This, no need to over-complicate it

 

There's also the 'ToCharArray' method. It'll return the string as an array of characters.

Code (csharp):

1. Char[] chars = "Unity".ToCharArray();
