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.

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).

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 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.

Visual Basic 6 has a new function called InStrRev, which searches a string from right to left. I found it very usefeul, so much so that a project of mine relies completely on it. When I tried to work on the project at another location on VB5 I found that the function did not exist. So, I wrote it. I left out the compare method, you can add it if you want

I was just poking around this site, and noticed that a lot of folks were making the copy/paste/cut/undo functions more difficult then they really needs to be. Rather then writing your own functions, make use of the SendMessage API and let Windows do the work for you.

This demo shows some of the capabilities of editing RichTextBox tags to achieve very fast global formatting. Great for Syntax Highlighting etc.
