format

[uni]

does anyone know how to tell if a string is in a certain format .eg. ####/#####

thanks

You can user InStr function.


=======

Dim lngPos As Long
Dim strTheString As String
lngPos = InStr(0, "/", strTheString , vbBinaryCompare)

if lngPos>0 then
MsgBox "Find!"
end if

Check the String Using InStr & Mid Functions to see
Whether there is a "/" in the string

whether there r 4 characters before "/" and then there r 4 characters after "/"
U can use Split & Len also in this case
