Hi Fred, could you add a flag to ReplaceString to allow replacement of ALL occurences in a string, not just the default ANY, which I assume would be the first possible match?

Regards (you did say you wanted more suggestions)

As far as I can tell, it replaces the first found occurence only but I shall do more tests after today.

No it doesn't... try this:

Code: Select all

s$="THIS, THIS and THIS will be replaced"
Debug ReplaceString(s$,"THIS","GONE")

Yes, I finally got time to play with it and figure it out, was using my own custom routines before. ReplaceString has managed to make me slim my code down a bit.

Now, if only I could find an easy way to figure out what darned thing keeps stealing focus from my listicongadget and life would be peachy
