I have a variable string and I need to read a specific character at a specific
spot in the string and the spot in the string is always the same.

Example;

given the string "DOG"
characterat(0) = D
characterat(1) = O
characterat(2) = G

Any ideas would be appreciated. I tried using java but it need to be done
automatically without the user clicking anything.

Try using:
Mid(string, start, length)

Mid("DOG", 1, 1) gives D
Mid("DOG", 3, 1) gives G
