RE: How do you search the contants of a response message for a string?

Hi, 

Can you confirm where in your orchestration you are doing this?

Assuming that it is in an expression shape, I believe that you are unable
to 
make use of the functions/methods of the string type within the expression

shape, so MyString.IndexOf is not likely to work (at least this is the
case 
with BT 2004).  

To make use of the string functions/methods I created a helper class that 
did some of the basic jobs for me.

see 
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/forumarchives/biztalkorchestration/Jun2005/post23246451.asp
for another take on it.

Cheers
Stu.
