Making a translator

Okay,
I wanna make a translator that finds words and changes them individually.
So it should,
1. Find a certain word
2. Change that word
3. Repeat step 1 until words are done

You could use the Replace function to search for a word something like this

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim changeWords(1, 1) As String
    
    changeWords(0, 0) = "Hello"
    changeWords(0, 1) = "Goodbye"
    changeWords(1, 0) = "Sorry"
    changeWords(1, 1) = "Not Sorry"
    
    Text2.Text = Replace(Text1.Text, changeWords(0, 0), changeWords(0, 1))
End Sub

so exactly how does that work?

Blinky created a two-column array that looks like

"Hello" "Goodbye"
"Sorry" "Not Sorry"

He/she then uses VB6's built in Replace function to change "Hello" to "Goodbye" or "Sorry" to "Not Sorry".

ohhhhhhhh thanks!!!

If you use VB5 you wont be able to use the Replace function :(

so that actually did add something to vb 6
anyways is it case-sensitive and if so how do i make it non case-sensitive?

Use vbTextCompare as the past parameter in the replace function.
