    Re: Use of GETCHAR function

    i think that is a c function, try Chr function in vb, i may have misinterpereted want you want to return, but that looks right

    ? chr(97)
    a
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Re: Use of GETCHAR function

    Thanks, actually I want to get a character from a string. I found this in the msdn:
    Code:
    Visual Basic
Dim TestString As String = "ABCDE"
Dim TestChar As Char
TestChar = GetChar(TestString, 4)
' Returns "D"
    The GetChar function does not work in my version. Do I need to activate something else?.

    vb Code:
    1. Dim teststr As String, testchr As String

    2. teststr = "ABCDE"

    3. testchar = Mid(teststr, 4, 1)

    4. 'returns D
