I think just using a single "/" should work.
I tried:
Position ( "test/five" ; "/" ; 1 ; 1 )
an got a result of 5.

I need to find the position of the backslash character (because
otherwise there isn’t much consistency). The calculation that seems
logical to me:
Position(Dimensions;"//";1;1)
but it returns 0. I’ve been tearing my hair out trying every
combination of // and /\ and \/ and //// and \\\\ ! Nothing works.
Surely this can be done?
Thanks
