seacrching for a specified text from a string.

[Sopok]

Hi all,
i have this problem... i don't have any idea on how to search or find or findout what is in a string. For instance i have a string '123' and i want to know whether the string '123' contains a '2'.... it must sound simple but i've tried everything i know and still can't get it. pls...help...me..

try this



dim s as string
dim l as long

s = "123"
l = instr(1,s,"2") 'should return 2 to l, the position where the char "2" occur

s = "123"
l = instr(1,s,"4") 'should return 0 to l, as no char "4" found in string s.

Hello:

You can also do this: You can textbox and Richtextbox to find String.

RichTextBox2.UpTo (Text1.Text)
RichTextBox2.SetFocus

However, the cursor must before the String to be searched.
You can find more information about it on the Visual Basic 6:Black Book by Steven Holzner.

Good Luck
