select charindex('H','Hello World') [Position] -- Here 'H' position is 1

select charindex(' ','C# corner') [Position] -- Here [Space] position is 3

select charindex('W','C# corner') [Position]--Here 'W' position is 0 beacuse there no char 'W' in search Exp

select charindex('a', NULL) -- if any of the exp is null then result also null

select charindex(NULL,'Rakesh') -- if any of the exp is null then result also null

select charindex('o','Hello World',6)--Here 6 is the start postion of char to find the Exp
