Hey guys, i would like to know how to search for a determined character in a textbox.

For example:

A person writes: "Hello, my name is Google." in the textbox.

In the code i want to make an "If" statement that says that: if there is the word Google in the textbox the person isn't a human being (obviously this is a very stupid example)...

How do i do this, if i can do it...?

Thanks again!

you could try the Instr ,InstrRev or StrComp function.

# Instr - Determines if one string is found within a second string
* i = Instr (starthere, string1, string2)
# InStrRev - Determine if one string is found in a second, starting at the end
* i = InStrRev (string1, string2, start)
# StrComp - Compares two strings
* result = StrComp (string1, string2)

Thanks for the reply...

But i was looking for something more specific; something that will let me find like "a" in the word: bat

There is but my VB is so rusty i cant think of how the module would go, its a fairly common script though, you should be able to get the modules code from an internet site or from a book.

Instr will let you find a in the word bat as will instrrev.

if instr("bat","a") > 0 then
you found a in the word bat
end if

Ok...thanks!

Watch out! It should be => 0, because 0 means the searched string is right at the beginning of the text
