    string manipulation

    I am getting back the innertext of a web page and in the text is some special characters. I am trying to look for these characters, but I don't know what the vb constants for them are. One specific one I'm looking for is the little square which seems to happens when there was a break tag.

    Can anyone help?

    thanks!
    Erica

    Re: string manipulation

    All text characters in a string are ASCII characters. If you have trouble with finding a character, you can instead use it's ASCII equivalent. With the Chr() function you can represent any ASCII number as a character. With the Asc() function you can represent a single character as an ASCII value. The return character is character 13, maybe combined with a line feed character (10). You can find complete ASCII character tables all over the internet. Just search for them!
    I hope my information was useful!
