Using Wildcards #2

Ok, I asked a question about two days ago about wildcards. I have a problem with the wildcarding but now im using a ListView [code]
UserSearch = Right(Message, Len(Message) - 5)
If Right(UserSearch, 1) = "*" Or Left(UserSearch, 1) = "*" Then
                    Dim UserWild As String, i As Integer
                    For i = ChannelLst.ListItems.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
                    UserWild = Left(UserSearch, Len(UserSearch) - 1)
                    If InStr(1, ChannelLst.ListItems.Item(i), Replace(UserWild, "*", ""), _
                    vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
                    Call GetAccess(sAccess, ChannelLst.ListItems.Item(i).Text)
                        If sAccess < intAccess Then
                        buffer.send "/kick " & ChannelLst.ListItems.Item(i).Text & " " & UserSearch
                        End If
                    ElseIf InStr(1, ChannelLst.ListItems.Item(i), "*", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
                        If LCase(ChannelLst.ListItems.Item(i)) = LCase(UserSearch) Then
                            buffer.send "/kick " & ChannelLst.ListItems.Item(i) & " " & UserSearch
                        End If
                    End If
        Next
End If
[/code]

The following error appears when there is no Item in the ListView that matches the wildcard: "Run-time error: 35600 - Index out of bounds" and it selects the text :
If InStr(1, ChannelLst.ListItems.Item(i), Replace(UserWild, "*", ""),  vbTextCompare) > 0 Then

You can use the Like() Command very easily.


dim string1 as string
dim string2 as string
string1 = "briangeff719"
string2 = "briangeff719"

if string1 like "brian*"  then
 msgbox "string has brian as the start"
end if
if string like "*geff*" then
 msgbox "string contains geff"
end if



good luck

Use like for wild cards its very easy.

The problem isnt with the method I'm using to compare the text, its with the index. Apparently ListViews work differently
