compare the first letter of a string to a char

[qnputuzo]

im writing a program that has movie titles in a string array, the users inputs a char n all movie titles starting with that char are display. im thinking of using the atChar() method to compare the entered char with the titles first char, is this the best solution for the job or is the an easier/ simpler way/method

Strings can be treated as character arrays.

In the case of a foreach loop:

foreach(var movie in Movies)
{
if(movie[0] == SearchCharacter)
//do whatever
}
[/CODE]

Just what I was about to suggest, this is what you should do. :)
