VB has numerous built-in string functions for processing strings. Most VB string-handling functions return a string, although some return a number (such as the Len function, which returns the length of a string and functions like Instr and InstrRev, which return a character position within the string). The functions that return strings can be coded with or without the dollar sign ($) at the end, although it is more efficient to use the version with the dollar sign.
The first time I started trying to understand the VB6 string functions I was somewhat confused. This tutorial will walk you through all the different ways you can us VB to handle strings. If you are still confused feel free to post a comment and hopefully we can help get you cleared up. Also there are many other string related tutorials on this site so feel free to browse around.
Function:
Len
Description:
Returns a Long containing the length of the specified string
Syntax:
Len(string)Where string is the string whose length (number of characters) is to be returned.
Example:
lngLen = Len(“Visual Basic”) ‘ lngLen = 12
Function:
Mid$ (or Mid)
Description:
Returns a substring containing a specified number of characters from a string.
Syntax:
Mid$(string, start[, length])The Mid$ function syntax has these parts:string Required. String expression from which characters are returned.start Required; Long. Character position in string at which the part to be taken begins. If start is greater than the number of characters in string, Mid returns a zero-length string (“”).length Optional; Long. Number of characters to return. If omitted or if there are fewer than length characters in the text (including the character at start), all characters from the start position to the end of the string are returned.
Example:
strSubstr = Mid$(“Visual Basic”, 3, 4) ‘ strSubstr = “sual”Note: Mid$ can also be used on the left side of an assignment statement, where you can replace a substring within a string.strTest = “Visual Basic” Mid$(strTest, 3, 4) = “xxxx” ‘strTest now contains “Vixxxx Basic”In VB6, the Replace$ function was introduced, which can also be used to replace characters within a string.
Function:
Left$ (or Left)
Description:
Returns a substring containing a specified number of characters from the beginning (left side) of a string.
Syntax:
Left$(string, length)The Left$ function syntax has these parts:string Required. String expression from which the leftmost characters are returned.length Required; Long. Numeric expression indicating how many characters to return. If 0, a zero-length string (“”) is returned. If greater than or equal to the number of characters in string, the entire string is returned.
Example:
strSubstr = Left$(“Visual Basic”, 3) ‘ strSubstr = “Vis” ‘ Note that the same thing could be accomplished with Mid$: strSubstr = Mid$(“Visual Basic”, 1, 3)
Function:
Right$ (or Right)
Description:
Returns a substring containing a specified number of characters from the end (right side) of a string.
Syntax:
Right$(string, length)The Right$ function syntax has these parts:string Required. String expression from which the rightmost characters are returned.length Required; Long. Numeric expression indicating how many characters to return. If 0, a zero-length string (“”) is returned. If greater than or equal to the number of characters in string, the entire string is returned.
Example:
strSubstr = Right$(“Visual Basic”, 3) ‘ strSubstr = “sic” ‘ Note that the same thing could be accomplished with Mid$: strSubstr = Mid$(“Visual Basic”, 10, 3)
Function:
UCase$ (or UCase)
Description:
Converts all lowercase letters in a string to uppercase. Any existing uppercase letters and non-alpha characters remain unchanged.
Returns a Long specifying the position of one string within another. The search starts either at the first character position or at the position specified by the start argument, and proceeds forward toward the end of the string (stopping when either string2 is found or when the end of the string1 is reached).
Syntax:
InStr([start,] string1, string2 [, compare])The InStr function syntax has these parts:start Optional. Numeric expression that sets the starting position for each search. If omitted, search begins at the first character position. The start argument is required if compare is specified.string1 Required. String expression being searched.string2 Required. String expression sought.compare Optional; numeric. A value of 0 (the default) specifies a binary (case-sensitive) search. A value of 1 specifies a textual (case-insensitive) search.
Returns a Long specifying the position of one string within another. The search starts either at the last character position or at the position specified by the start argument, and proceeds backward toward the beginning of the string (stopping when either string2 is found or when the beginning of the string1 is reached).Introduced in VB 6.
Syntax:
InStrRev(string1, string2[, start, [, compare]])The InStr function syntax has these parts:string1 Required. String expression being searched.string2 Required. String expression sought.start Optional. Numeric expression that sets the starting position for each search. If omitted, search begins at the last character position.compare Optional; numeric. A value of 0 (the default) specifies a binary (case-sensitive) search. A value of 1 specifies a textual (case-insensitive) search.
Examples:
lngPos = InstrRev(“Visual Basic”, “a”) ‘ lngPos = 9 lngPos = InstrRev(“Visual Basic”, “a”, 6) ‘ lngPos = 5 (starting at position 6) lngPos = InstrRev(“Visual Basic”, “A”) ‘ lngPos = 0 (case-sensitive search) lngPos = InstrRev(“Visual Basic”, “A”, , 1) ‘ lngPos = 9 (case-insensitive search) ‘ Note that this last example leaves a placeholder for the start argument
Notes on Instr and InstrRev:
· Something to watch out for is that while Instr and InstrRev both accomplish the same thing (except that InstrRev processes a string from last character to first, while Instr processes a string from first character to last), the arguments to these functions are specified in a different order. The Instr arguments are (start, string1, string2, compare) whereas the InstrRev arguments are (string1, string2, start, compare).
· The Instr function has been around since the earlier days of BASIC, whereas InstrRev was not introduced until VB 6.
· Built-in “vb” constants can be used for the compare argument:
vbBinaryCompare for 0 (case-sensitive search) vbTextCompare for 1 (case-insensitive search)
Function:
String$ (or String)
Description:
Returns a string containing a repeating character string of the length specified.
Syntax:
String$(number, character)The String$ function syntax has these parts:number Required; Long. Length of the returned string.character Required; Variant. This argument can either be a number from 0 to 255 (representing the ASCII character code* of the character to be repeated) or a string expression whose first character is used to build the return string.
Examples:
strTest = String$(5, “a”) ‘ strTest = “aaaaa” strTest = String$(5, 97) ‘ strTest = “aaaaa” (97 is the ASCII code for “a”)
* A list of the ASCII character codes is presented at the end of this topic.
Function:
Space$ (or Space)
Description:
Returns a string containing the specified number of blank spaces.
Syntax:
Space$(number)Where number is the number of blank spaces desired.
Examples:
strTest = Space$(5) ‘ strTest = ” “
Function:
Replace$ (or Replace)
Description:
Returns a string in which a specified substring has been replaced with another substring a specified number of times.Introduced in VB 6.
Syntax:
Replace$(expression, find, replacewith[, start[, count[, compare]]])The Replace$ function syntax has these parts:expression Required. String expression containing substring to replace.find Required. Substring being searched for.replacewith Required. Replacement substring.start Optional. Position within expression where substring search is to begin. If omitted, 1 is assumed.count Optional. Number of substring substitutions to perform. If omitted, the default value is –1, which means make all possible substitutions.compare Optional. Numeric value indicating the kind of comparison to use when evaluating substrings. (0 = case sensitive, 1 = case-insensitive)Built-in “vb” constants can be used for the compare argument:vbBinaryCompare for 0 (case-sensitive search) vbTextCompare for 1 (case-insensitive search)
