indexof on 64 vs 32 bit pc

Question

i'm using the line below to find a position of the test withing HTML document and it works fine on a 64bit machine but does not work on my 32bit Windows 2008 server.

IntStart1 variable returns 2 on 64bit and 0000029ae on 32 bit. please help.

Int32 intStart1 = strHtmlText.IndexOf("<TABLE class=");

Minor aside, it is more idiomatic to use `int` rather than `Int32` here. — David Heffernan, Oct 08 '11 at 19:57
Have you inspected and verified that `strHtmlText` contains the string "" — nos, Oct 08 '11 at 19:57
hi David, it's the same. see below. i'm still puzzeled as to why a hexidecimal number returned — Paul Kogan, Oct 08 '11 at 21:31
That text does not contain the string you are searching for. — David Heffernan, Oct 09 '11 at 08:22

String.IndexOf() is one of the most widely used functions in existence. I'd be simply astounded if it did not work.

The most likely explanation is that you have different values for strHtmlText. Inspect the values of that string and I'm sure you will see what is going on.
