INSTR search problem
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: Dennis Rose on 14 Jun 2010 16:12 Using VB5, I have a string of data that may contain an imbeded equal sign, Carrage return and Line Feed ie. Chr(61) Chr(13) Chr(10), one after another in the data string . How can I test for this? I have tried: TestHexString = " & Chr(61) & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & " CRLFfound = Instr(1, ActualData, TestHexString) If CRLFfound > 0 then but this doesn't work!!

This newsgroup will almost certainly continue without interruption on usenet. Just be sure you have access to a server. There's one free option in my sig, as well as another fallback group we can use if this one actually does go away.
