This is a fairly basic code, but I had someone ask me how to do it, so I figured since I made it I might as well post it. Basicly this is a simple function which you can add to either a bas, or a form, and then you call it, and it removes all occurenses of a character within a string. IE.(My name is steve) if you wanted to remove all the spaces you could use this.

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.

I use ExtractArgument (written by my friend Mike Carper) all the time. It returns an argument or token from a string based on its position within another string and a delimiter. For example: I want the "2" in the following string: "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10". 'Sample call 'Dim sList as string 'Dim sTown as string 'sList = "POB 145,Dexter Street,Anytown,USA" 'sTown = ExtractArgument(3, sList, ",") 'sTown will be "Anytown" I find this very useful in working with delimited files and strings, and have implemented it in INI settings as well.

' 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).

This following function takes an HTML page and strips it of all tags.

If an alphanumeric string is provided in the form 123,33,44,556 , my function seperates the numbers seperated by any character in this case a (,)comma so we get num1=123 , num2 = 33 , num3=44 and so on.The function uses an array to store these numbers.DO mail me on how well this code works.

'This function can be implemented anywhere to finish off a word in a textbox using a list of words with a custom delimeter. It is fairly complex and difficult to document, so bare with me. It also uses the amazing extract argument function written by another code of the day submitter. I have spent lots of time fine tuning this code and making it as flexible and foolproof as the one used in Internet Explorer 4.0.

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.

Display a page that allows you to type in a SQL Query statement, and display the results in HTML Table format. The number of field parameters and field names are immaterial. It will display the results in an easy to read format. Great for customer reports. The Code will not allow an Update or Delete query.

Teaches you how to allow your users to build a dynamic sql statment for searching your database, paging (nice little auto paging function I wrote included), dynamic sorting, etc... Access 2000 sample database included.

Demonstrate how to use ADO and ASP, includes Paging, Editing, Searching, Stored Procedures with MS Access and more.

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.

Convert numbers to words (Portuguese only!)

Create a text box that only allows Numbers in it, no letters great for Numeric Applications!

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..
