Search Back

Hi,

Is there any way to search for string backward ? I have a Richtextbox that contain a text and the user search for staring, how can i search back?

Thanks

If you have VB6 check out the InStrRev function in the MSDN library.

Good luck!

See if my code would help you. Open a new project and put a text box control on it. Erase Text caption in proporties.
Then just copy my code in.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Looking for a space starting from the end of the string
Dim i As Integer
dim iSpace As Integer

Text1 = "I like to go out once in a while"
y = 1

For i = Len(Text1) To 1 Step -1
iSpace = InStr(i, Mid(Text1, 1, i), " ")
If iSpace > 0 Then
MsgBox "Found space in position " & iSpace
End If
Next
End Sub

Let me know if it would help you.

Hi,

mlana the "Joacim Andersson" method was much faster !
Thanks for the reply
P.S. - can Search in RichTextbox - in 1 command the all occures that iam looking for??

Thnks again

Thank you for letting me know that.
But I am working with VB5 and I did not find this function
there. Am I missing something or it is new for VB6?

InStrRev is a new function in VB6.

In the RichTextBox there is a command "Find", Do u know if there any option to find ALL search argument in 1 command without any loop? (i am editing a large amount of data and the user like to search the textbox?) what is the best way to do that?

There is no such options. You would have to use a loop.

Good luck!
