How do I check if a String object contains a particular character in it?

Thanks.

I want to check whether it is there or not. I do not want to findthe index of the character. What will indexOf give me back if the character is not present in the String?

It will return -1 if the character is not in the String. If you need information like this, the answers are readily available in the free Java API docs available from Sun. You cannot become a good Java programmer without learning how to read and research the APIs.
