Hi Maverick,'

Did u have any luck with the sample code?

--DMM
not really ...... I think that the PAQ needs quite alot of work to get it going properl!
stay with it!

Hi DMM,
Command1 opens the Dialog Box
Command2 automatically searches and replaces the searchword in text1 with "zzzz"
So Richtextbox1 is the part which gets seached
Text1 is the search word
"zzzz" is the replace string!
If you didn't want to search Automatically you could insert a MsgBox to give you the choice!




Private Sub Command1_Click()
dlgCommonDialog.Filter = "All files(*.*)|*.*|HTML files (*.htm)|*.htm*"
 dlgCommonDialog.Action = 1
 RichTextBox1.filename = dlgCommonDialog.filename
     
     
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Do
Mypos = 0
Mypos = InStr(Mypos + 1, RichTextBox1.Text, Text1.Text, 0)
If Mypos <> 0 Then
RichTextBox1.SelStart = Mypos - 1
RichTextBox1.SetFocus
RichTextBox1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
RichTextBox1.SelText = "zzzz"
Else
MsgBox "Search String no found"
Exit Do
End If
Loop


 
End Sub
