Android Question Search a String for characters including single quotes

[GuyBooth]

I'm trying to return the result of searching a string for 's.
I have tried the following - among others - which all return false

MyString.contains("'s")
MyString.contains($"${Chr(39)}s"$)
MyString.contains($"'s"$)

What am I missing?

I don't know how the contains method is implemented, if it's based off a regex you might try escaping the single-quote with a backslash, e.g.

MyString.Contains("\'s")

If that still fails, then I'd be willing to bet the character you're comparing against in the string isn't actually Chr(39).

I actually don't care about "chr(39)". I'm simply trying to find if my string contains the characters 's
And no,

MyString.contains("\'s")

sadly doesn't work.
Thanks for the thought though

I tried this and it retirned true:

Dim mystring As String = "it's actually useful"
    Log(mystring.contains("'s"))   'returns true

Thanks for the sanity check Mahares.
Seems I had previously chopped an extra letter off the end of the word
All fixed.
