Want to sort 5,000 10-byte strings in about 1/10th of a second? This will do it (at least on my PII-233!). The insertion sort manages the same task in about 60 seconds (even when optimized it still took about 15 seconds on the same machine).

It will erase any non-alphanumeric characters from a string rapidly. Usefull if you want to check strings for non-valid characters. Strings such as email or web addresses, you can even make so that only numbers can be entered in, for example, a text box.

For example, the name Darrell can be spelled many different ways. Regardles of how you spell it, (Daryl, Derrel, Darel, etc.) the Soundex code is always D640. Therefore, you assign a field in your database to the Soundex code and then query the database using the code, all instances of Darrell regarless of spelling will be returned. Refer to the code comment section for more information.

If you want your strings routines to be as fast as possible, learn C. If you don't want to learn C use string mapping, its nearly as fast and pure VB. In this article I give you the silver bullet for strings. If strings are bottlenecking your code, I'm your new best friend. I've included a project that attempts to visualize the string for you. It also contains a word count comparision which uses four methods string mapping being the fastest by far (compiled).

This Function Searches a user defined string for a user defined search criteria it will return the postion of matchs in an array also will replace or remove criteria from string

Updated to v1.1, Fixed few bugs. I always feel I loose a lot of time formating my msgbox strings. String Maker is a program that formats your "normal text" into a variable string usable in visual basic. Lets say, for example, you want a msgbox to show this: ------------------------------------- Warning: The "input" parameters found in the data size field can generate a general protection error ------------------------------------- String maker will format it for you to just copy and paste like this: MyString = "-------------------------------------" & vbNewLine MyString = MyString & " Warning:" & vbNewLine MyString = MyString & "The " & chr(34) & "input" & chr(34) & "parameters" & vbNewLine MyString = MyString & "found in the data size" & vbNewLine MyString = MyString & "field can generate a" & vbNewLine MyString = MyString & "general protection error" & vbNewLine MyString = MyString & "-------------------------------------" Then you could use it like: MsgBox mystring It also has the capability to create SQL table strings: MyString = "CREATE TABLE [tblThisTable] (" MyString = MyString & "[fldBinary] Binary(20)," MyString = MyString & "[fldBit] BIT," MyString = MyString & "[fildInteger] Short," MyString = MyString & "[fldText] Text(240)" MyString = MyString & ")" All you have to do is execute the string like dbobject.execute mystring. And, as always, it also shows the use of MDI projects, menus, tray icon, popup menu in the tray icon, selections, etc... You are allowed and encouraged to continue this project to grow its capabilities... just keep me informed. Thanx to the guy of the tray area control. Note that you must use the exit menu command to close the program, since pressing the X button in the window's controls will just send the program to the tray area... Pretty much like audiogalaxy. -Fongus

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

This code duplicates the functionality of VB6's split function.

This is a combination of InStr and the Like operator. It returns the position of a mask within a string. The parameters are all user friendly variants just like the regular InStr function. Example: InStrLike("Test String 123abc45 Stuff","###*##") returns 13, because 123abc45 matches the mask and it starts at character 13. Hope this is useful to somebody.

This is a InStrRev function for VB5. I took a look at the one microsoft recomend, and almost died of laughter.
