Equivalent String Function to charAt() ?

Hello,

 

I was wondering if there is any equivalent string function that can used similar to the charAt function which exists in java?

I know no such method is listed at http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_methods_system_string.htm

 

I know it's possible to look through the string and to get each character using the substring function in such a loop but it would be much better if a function existed similar to charAt.

 

if anyone knows of a better way of doing this you can let me know.

 

Thanks!

You can use substring the same way you would charAt, it doesn't have to be in a loop.  If you know exactly which character(s) you're trying to grab, substring just requires 2 inputs to get it, the start and end position.  So...

 

charAt(4) is the same as substring(3,4)
