Read a string
-
Hi. I’m trying to write and
if thenstatement that checks to see if a string contains a certain value. Here is how I thought it worked:If TheString.IndexOfAny(“This Text”) thenI want the statement to return True if the string contains “This Text” anywhere within the string. Can anybody tell me how this should be written? Thanks Brad -

Thanks BradThere is a function in Microsoft.VisualBasic called Instr that can, given two strings, give you the number of times that string2 occurs in string1. Try using this function
Function ContainsStr(Str1 As String, Str2 as String) As Boolean Return (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Instr(Str1, Str2) > 0) End FunctionHope This Helps -

Hi ROLI. I didn't completely understand the use of IndexOfAny. This thread contains a good explanation for anybody who is interested: http://www.visualbasicforum.com/showthread.php?t=175579 Thanks for you help. Brad

Dim val As booleanthen after the statement,If TheString.IndexOfAny(“This Text”) thentypeval="true" EndifORreturn "true":|u can then reference variable val elsewhere as the value returned
