String compare
29 Mar 2015, 14:12

Hi,

How do i get a string compare that return the position of the characters in the string.

I just have to know if a symbol like "EURUSD" got the currency "USD" in it.

When i try :

Print(String.Compare(Symbol.Code, "EUR"));

it returns me "1" with EURUSD symbol chart, but it returns me the same result with GPBUSD chart... What am i doing wrong ? Thank you.

Compare is used to check if strings are equal.

Use Contains method

Symbol.Code.Contains("EUR");

Thank you Invalid. But i still need to check if "EUR" is the base currency or not... I know that EUR are always the base currency in forex pairs though.. But i'll have to check the same way for "USD" for instance.

I would like to check if "USD" is the 1st currency in "USDJPY" or the second one in "GBPUSD".
