Adding a custom value to selected lines
Posted on 1998-11-22
Please help,
I am useing a RichTextBox control and would like to be
able to select 5 or 6 lines of text, click a command
button and for the selection to process the following.
For the lines selected, I would like to add a word or number
at the end of each line selected.
If this was the selected text... and VIP was the word to
add..
for each line given VIP
like in this VIP
little example, VIP
I have the word VIP displayed. VIP
Get the idea?
Please, show me how to add a word at the end of each line
selected please detail how this function could be used to
add a word at the begining of each line.
Thank you.

you can use this on the command click event to add at the end
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim n As Integer
Dim c As String
Dim sel As String
Dim try As String
try = ""
If Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength > 0 Then
sel = Me.RichTextBox1.SelText
For n = 1 To Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength
c = Mid(sel, n, 1)
If c = Chr$(13) Then
c = "VIP" + c
End If
try = try + c
Next
Me.RichTextBox1.SelText = try
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim n As Integer
Dim c As String
Dim sel As String
Dim try As String
try = ""
If Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength > 0 Then
sel = Me.RichTextBox1.SelText
For n = 1 To Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength
c = Mid(sel, n, 1)
If c = Chr$(13) Then
c = "VIP" + c
End If
try = try + c
Next
Me.RichTextBox1.SelText = try
End If
End Sub
this is a better answer to use to add to both : end and begining:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim n As Integer
Dim c As String
Dim sel As String
Dim try As String
Dim b As Boolean
try = ""
b = False
If Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength > 0 Then
sel = Me.RichTextBox1.SelText
For n = 1 To Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength
c = Mid(sel, n, 1)
If b Then
b = False
c = c + "VIP"
End If
If c = Chr$(13) Then
c = "VIP" + c
b = True
End If
try = try + c
Next
Me.RichTextBox1.SelText = try
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim n As Integer
Dim c As String
Dim sel As String
Dim try As String
Dim b As Boolean
try = ""
b = False
If Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength > 0 Then
sel = Me.RichTextBox1.SelText
For n = 1 To Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength
c = Mid(sel, n, 1)
If b Then
b = False
c = c + "VIP"
End If
If c = Chr$(13) Then
c = "VIP" + c
b = True
End If
try = try + c
Next
Me.RichTextBox1.SelText = try
End If
End Sub
Thanks alot,
however,
Could you write it so that it just writes VIP at the begining of the line?
I will use that answer with your first one.
Not both at the same time...
