[RESOLVED] Commas

Say i have this in a textbox..

a b c d e

how do i have a commandbutton that will replace this into:

a, b, c, d, e

please keep in mind that there MAY be a space at the end of the e, or at the beginning of the a. also keep in mind i do NOT want it to show as ,a b, c, d, e, .... i want it as a, b, c, d, e .. how do i do this?

Thanks!!!!

Try using Replace() function:

Code:

---

Debug.Print Replace("a b c d e", " ", ", ")

---

Works great, but, like i said, there could be a space on the end of the e. Then, if i use your code and put a space at the end of the e, i get a comma at the end regardless of there being text or not at the end.

So, check for last two characters and if you get ", " the use Left function:

Code:

---

mystring = "a b c d e "
mystring = Replace(mystring, " ", ", ")

If Right(mystring, 2) = ", " Then
    mystring = Left(mystring, Len(mystring) - 2)
End If

---

Thanks.
