Foe example I have a text 
demo:='abc bcd def'.

how to find the position of space in the demo?

I have tried using strpos as 
STRPOS(demo,' ')
but I always get 0 or 1 as a result.

    If you use one more variable it works

    SubString := ' ';
    String := 'abc def';
    strpos(string,substring)

    But main problem in my code was I was trimming all the spaces before getting the position by using delchar("Given String",'=')

    "Given String" := ' abc def efg';
MESSAGE('---' + "Given String" + '---');
String := DELCHR("Given String",'=');
MESSAGE('---' + String + '---');

subString :=' ';
pos := STRPOS(String,' ');
MESSAGE(FORMAT(pos));

    so later I change code as
    "Given String" := 'abc def efg';

subString :=' ';
pos := STRPOS(Given String,subString);
MESSAGE(FORMAT(pos));

    OR 
    "Given String" := 'abc def efg';

pos := STRPOS(Given String,' ');
MESSAGE(FORMAT(pos));


    Both works for me!

    Thanks
