    Lightbulb Select file names

    Hi everyone. I'm using a common dialog control to select filenames. The problem is that they must have multiple selection option.

    When I try to parse the FileName property I get this weird character "" I dunno what to use to compare this special character. The code follows

    files = dlgSelArchivo.FileName
    n = Len(files)
    For j = 1 To n
    char = Mid(files, j, 1)
    If char = Null Then
    flag = 1
    ElseIf char <> Null And flag >= 1 Then
    final = final + char
    ElseIf char = Null And flag >= 1 Then
    final = final + "; "
    End If
    Next j

    Any replies will be appreciated.

    Thank You

    If char = Null Then
    this is not fine in Vb6
    you must code differently:
    suppose char is a variant, you can code:
    if isEmpty(char) then
    in case you did not assigned anithing
    or
    if isNUll(char) then
    in case you read from a db a null field
    ...at present time, using mainly Net 4.0, Vs 2010



    Special thanks to Lothar "the Great" Haensler, Chris Eastwood , dr_Michael, ClearCode, Iouri and
    all the other wonderful people who made and make Codeguru a great place.
    Come back soon, you Gurus.

    Seems to me all that code can be replaced by something like this:
    Files = Replace(Files, Chr(1), "; ")
    Please remember to rate the posts and threads that you find useful.
    How can something be both new and improved at the same time?

    Well, it didn't work , but I found another way around. I used vbCharNull instead of IsEmpty and it worked

    Sometimes MSDN isn't as bad as it looks

    Anyway, thanx Cimperiali
