Removing all the txt after the $ sign (From textbox) {RESOLVED}

Hello,

I have a textbox and in it is text - Example lines of text.

"Jake has $300.00 Payday April 3
Jan has $120.00 Payday April 9
Tim has $234.00 Payday April 24"

Now there is a whole bunch and what I want a command button to do is delete everything in each line after the $ sign (Including the $ sign delete)

Anyone who has some code I would appreciate any help!
Stilekid007 :wave:

Just call the following function like this:
Text1.Text = RemoveDollars(Text1.Text)

VB Code:

Public Function RemoveDollars(ByVal s As String) As String
    Dim n As Long, nCount As Long
    Dim nPos As Long
    Dim sLines() As String
    sLines = Split(s, vbCrLf)
    s = ""
    nCount = UBound(sLines)
    For n = 0 To nCount
        nPos = Instr(sLines(n), "$")
        If nPos Then
            s = s & Left$(sLines(n), nPos - 1) & vbCrLf
        Else
            s = s & sLines(n)
        End If
    Next
    'return the string without the last CrLf pair
    RemoveDollars = Left$(s, Len(s) - 2)
End Function

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim SpltCash() As String
Dim cat As String
Dim i As Integer
SpltCash() = Split("Jake has $300.00 Payday April 3", "$")
    For i = 0 To UBound(SpltCash)
    If i <> 0 Then
        SpltCash(i) = vbNullString
    End If
     cat = cat & SpltCash(i)
    Next i
    MsgBox cat
End Sub

heres the easiest way, if you want another way just ask

Thank you both of you!
Joacim's deletes the $ sign and everything after - Rhino yours deletes the whole line that has the $ sign in it. Joacim's works really good!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

When we're on the subject of misreading... Isn't it unfair to dyslectic people that it's so hard to spell the words "dyslectic" and "dyslexia"? :) And why is the a letter "s" in the word "lisp"?

lisp is a word.

VB Code:

1. A speech defect or mannerism characterized by mispronunciation of the sounds (s) and (z) as (th) and (th).
   2. A sound of or like a lisp: “The carpenter ['s]... plane whistles its wild ascending lisp” (Walt Whitman).

also a computer language, i guess.

I know lisp is a word, I just wondered why it contained the letter "s" when:

I just think it's unfair agains a person that has this speech defect since he/she isn't able to pronounce the word.

lmao..thats so true+funny

I'm not saying it's funny. I said it was unfair... (But also a bit funny ;)).

Yea, but you presented as a joke ...

hmmmm. i missed the deleted post. I was just commenting on the word lisp. I didn't even see it in the thread. :(

You didn't miss much - I can asure you - you have many other things (as usual) to take care so let's move on and forget about this one ... :rolleyes:

That's because I meant it as a joke but I also firmly believe that it is unfair against people that might have these speach and reading disbilities that the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are. I didn't make up those words so don't blaim me will you :)

However I didn't mean that you where suffering from them just because you misread the post, that's easily done.

I just don't understand for the life of me what the heck does all that have to do with me making a little mistake - can you tell me Joacim ???
Let's forget about this - I never made any post that had to be deleted nor I made any comments about it ... period. :sick:

The joke I made wasn't aimed against you, as I already stated:

It was simply the word "misread" that made me think about it. I'm sorry if you got offended Rhino, it wasn't my intention. So yeah, let's forget about it.

...Nothing like an intense debate on code.

Oh I know, its all about the VB! haha! :P Well I do thank you ALL for the code and everything else! TTYL! :thumb:
