Replacing a "Return Character" with a Space in a String [RESOLVED]

Hi all,

I am selecting a comment field from my database and some of the comments contain a "return character" ("||"). When I print these out, the return character forces a new line on the printout, which I do not want. How can I replace a return character in a string with a space?

Example:

Dim String1(100) As String

* Open DB
* Select Recordset
x = 0
Do while not RS.EOF
x = x + 1
String1(x) = RS(0)
Loop
* Close Recordset
* Close DB

* now I'd like to search through the array of strings and replace Returns with Spaces

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, rather than loading an array in code, check out the GetRows or GetString methods of the Recordset object. Both create an array based on the paramters you pass.

Use the Replace function to change the carriage return/line feeds. Using one or more of the following should work.

String(x) = Replace(String(x), vbCRLF," ")
String(x) = Replace(String(x), vbCR," ")
String(x) = Replace(String(x), vbLF," ")
