Contains and #include

Can I use the #include in VB and can I use contains. Something like if var contains "active"?

dear,

contains is the instr function
if instr(strLongText, strSearchText) > 0 then ...

kind regards,
big nell

There are compiler directives in VB and they start with #, but no #include.

one way to do that is to create a .BAS module with all of the variables and functions declared Public for the ones you want all modules to see.

contains = Instr

Code:

---

If Instr(mystring,"abc") >0 then
    ' found it
End if
