This Function Adds quotes to a filename... especially useful when sending an arguement to a program (ie a filename) and it has spaces in it (with spaces if shows up as multiple arguements.

This code is a direct replacement for the VB6 Replace function. Obviously, VB 6 users will have very little (if any) use for the function. It is intended for use with older versions of VB that do not have the in-built Replace function. I noticed a similar piece of code released earlier this week, but it only appeared to handle character replacing and not strings. This version will do both and it's pretty tight and fast.

This code convert a TXT file to EXE file.When you convert the file start the EXE and the old file will be typed(like TYPE command) This is really great code NOTE : RUN THE .EXE FROM MS-DOS MODE

I was recieving several requests after recently making a post concerning a scrolling credits examples, simply saying that I had something similiar that worked in most aspects slightly better, because it used BitBlt and read the credits directly from a text file. I got quite a few emails requesting I send them it, so I just decided to post it to this site. Hope everyone likes it, if not sorry.

' Given an editable textbox named Text1, this code prompts to find a word and ' searches throught the textbox and highlights the first occurance of the ' found word (if exists).

Simply counts the number of lines in a textbox (the textbox should be multiline=true, otherwise it is pretty useless). Put this in a module so it can be reused.

Takes a string and shifts each character in that string according to a password set by the user. Much smaller than most of the examples of PSC.

This is in response to a question on posted on the Programming Q & A section. It takes a string and fills a listbox with all combinations of the letters in the string (could be adapted to use a dynamic array, too, the listbox was better for demonstration purposes). This program use recursion to get it's results and may be a good example for someone learning the concept to step through. Warning: The number of combinations goes up exponentially! more than 8 characters will work but really bog down your PC!

This is kind of a Virus Scanner...It's to let you get the feel of a scanner which searches for strings a virus might have and then displays that it is a virus in a message box. Put this in a module and call it from like a button or something. I am only 13 so if you think this code is dumb or wouldn't work...sorry im still learning. E-Mail me at BmFWaLk316@Juno.com if you have any problems. Later.

This is a very simple encrypt/unenceypt and when i say simple i mean simple. works for any string containg the normal chr's ie. (1-9,a-z). Works good tho for simple encrypt.

Fixes a string.. from "chArlES IS BaCk!" and the results is "Charles Is Back!" easy to use.. and nothing to have.. ;-) made it for a request.. the StrConv() only function in vb6 i think.. i'm not sure.. However this works too if you want it..

Quick and Easy! without API. Only a few lines of code. You can scroll your Application's titles and form's caption. I hope you enjoy. G.B.R.Nilantha Athurupana. Wattarama,Imbulgasdeniya,Sri Lanka.(94-03744479, E-Mail: crysbro@cga.lk)

Very fast function to encode or decode Quoted-Printable. VB6 only, but you can make it work with other versions, with a 3rd party replace function.

This code displays the text on the line the mouse is over in the tooltiptext box. This is useful for when your text string is longer than the textbox can display.

Several examples on how to totally manipulate a string. How to Reverse Strings, Add Spaces, make a string "Elite", etc. Also demonstrates how to get letters from a string and add to them or remove them. It is heavily commented and should really help a lot of people. Cool stuff. (:

I've had a lot of people ask me how to create "Elite" text or "Funky" looking text, so here it is. The coding is extremely simple and it's commented. No votes unless this really helps you or something!

This program has a TON of String Manipulation, showing several examples of virtually every String Manipulation technique. Very cool! Check it out.

This code will take your text and encrypt it so that it is completely non-readable. I am sure that is someone studied the output long enouch they might be able to break the code, but it would be tough. You can see how easy it actually is to encrypt/decrypt text. It cover all basic letters and most special characters. If you can see it on your keyboard then that character has been covered. Later versions of this code will be much more complex in the way it encrypts the text. and I may include a feature that will require a key to unlock the text. Have fun. Peace
