This is a little better, it returns a if "a" in, or None if using "z":
class zoeken() : pass def __len__(self): return 0 def __str__(self): return test2 def find(self, strng, ch, start, stop): index = start while index < len(strng) and index < stop: if strng[index] == ch: return ch index += 1 test = zoeken() test.woord = raw_input('Enter string of letters to search: ' ) stop = len(test.woord) search = raw_input('Enter character to find: ') #print 'search =' ,search test2 = test.find(test.woord, search, 1,stop) print test2 Of course, there are other ways to accomplish this.
