The purpose of this article is to teach the reader how to split a string into fragments and use the fragments effectively. Useful for Winsock programs, date commands, and other possible needs.

Paste the contents of a plaintext document into the main multiline text box, click "Parse," and this program creates an array for each unique word and the frequency at which the word occurs in the string. I made this to check my own writing for over-used words; if you're a writer you may notice how you tend to use the same words over and over again; in conjunction with a thesaurus this could be a powerful tool to liven up your use of vocabulary.

Ever too tired to control user's input? Ever want to control maxlength of a combobox? Ever want to validate and correct and hint(optional) user's input automatically? This is what you need to control user's input with textbox, combox etc. I am working on it and have figured out many improvements that can be done if you are so kind to rate it! Any comment or vote is appreciated! Please vote for it if you guys desire a much better version :-)

Regular Expressions - match strings. *,+,?,[0-9],[A-Z], read note on the initial form code. Requires a reference to vbscript.dll. Only works in VB6.

FormatFileSize: Formats a file's size in bytes into X GB or X MB or X KB or X bytes depending on size (a la Win9x Properties tab) * UPDATED Sept. 12, 2000 * to allow for overriding the default Format Mask.

This code should explain the bubble sort ! Bubble sort is a sort algorithm that sortes string in very fast way. There are many sort algorithms but this is the best !

(PLEASE ALSO LOOK AT VERSION 2.10!)This code is an example of 13 different FX that can be easily implemented to a string. I have put them all together and put in quite a few notes explaining what each FX is doing. As you can see from the screenshot each effect can be modified in certain ways. I have written this so that you can have a better understanding of how computers work. I have tried to avoid using many of the built in functions. Each FX may not be the most efficient way of doing them, but I have done it this way to highlight the internal workings. All FX (apart from Rotate) work at a character at a time. Please send in any comments you may have - Good or Bad - so I can improve on it further. If you have any questions then email me. PLEASE RATE THIS. Thankyou.

This is a basic drag and drop demo. It is written to recognize what type of file is being dropped and only excepts exe's but you could modify it to excpet any file extension. I think I commented the demo well enough for everyone. I hope it's ueful. Saturday, March 31, 2001 I added a few more lines of code for the ".EXE" statement because there are 2 kinds of exe's! Upper case and Lower case! It sounds funny but i have both kinds of exe's on my machine so i thought i better fix this little bug! I Also added a Progress Bar! Peace, jim byrnes

This code shows almost all usefull function for string manipulation. Easy to understand, Easy to implement! Every line of source code with comment and 1 command button done all the functions in the text boxes.

Syntax coloring, advanced selection routines and Highlighting. Highlighting using the Richtextbox control is awkward. Whilst there are a host of Selection properties there is no Highlight property we can access from VB. We just have to parse the RTF code.

Levenshtein edit distance is a measure of the similarity between two strings. Edit distance is the the minimum number of character deletions, insertions, substitutions, and transpositions required to transform string1 into string2. In essence, the function is used to perform a fuzzy or approximate string search. This is very handy for trying to find the "correct" string for one that has been entered incorrectly, mistyped, etc. The code has been optimized to find strings that are very similar. A "limit" parameter is provided so the function will quickly reject strings that contain more than k mismatches.

This is a program to make totally random passwords out of letters, numbers, or both. Shows how to convert strings to lowercase, make a scrolling, typing, caption effect and how to use random numbers.

Shows Random Number Coding, Case Select and a good for next loop with Listbox. Also a simple counter. Combines words into full sentences. Fun program too, sort of funny, but some generated conspiracies may be TRUE (ewwwww - spooky). Feedback appreciated.

Use these functions in KeyPress events to format user entries as entry is typed. UCaseKeyPress() converts key pressed to uppercase while LCaseKeyPress() converts key pressed to lowercase.

This Code will Scroll the title of your window(s) like Winamp To the left OR to the right.

It typewrites any text you choose at any given speed

Provides functionality to have a buffer of Undo's in your application so users can go back as far as they want and redo their actions again....

This takes a jumbled word and compares it to a list of words (apprx 110,000 words) that are commonly used in crossword puzzles and such. I got this paticualr idea from Robert Rayment's code on finding anagrams for a word. You can also replace the provided word list with a bigger one. please give all feedback positive and negative. Thanks, and vote

This SQL formatter Add In formats your SQL in various formats
