In my program, I have to input a word and then a character. The program will tell me how many times does the character appear in the word...my problem is that I have to find this character with the find(str,ind)...I know the ind is the index and can be manipulated with a loop...but what about the "str" part of it? I know that's where the character should be, so can I put the name of the variable in which the char is stored?

Yes, there is an overload which takes a char.
A good reference:http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/find/
EDIT: AD's got it ^^^^^^^^^ (but that site is still a good reference)
