string reverse?

I am having string issue. I am trying reverse the string, but cannot seem to accomplish.

Scenario:

The string is dynamic - def, abc - I want the out put as message box to be abc def
If the string is def, abc 123 - I want the out put to be abc 123 def

Is it posssible to reverse string with vb6?

Yes it is possible. In this case you may want to use the Split() function to break the string into an array using the space as a seperator then loop through the resulting array back to front appending the items to a new string.

Something like this for example

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim MyString As String
Dim MyArray() As String

MyString = "def, abc 123"

MyArray = Split(MyString, " ")
MyString = ""
Dim x As Integer
 For x = UBound(MyArray) To 0 Step -1
    MyString = Trim(MyString & " " & MyArray(x))
Next

MsgBox MyString
End Sub

---

That's not really reversing a string. A reversed string would be if def = abc 123 then reversed is 321 cba

What you're asking is how to switch each element around.

Dim a() As String
Dim s as string

a = Split(def,Space(1))

s = a(1) & Space(1) & a(0)

StrReverse reverses the character order of the specified string, but that doesn't seem to be what you need.

Oh yes sorry. Thanks for giving me some insights. I found this :

see post number 2. I edited it to add a simple example

Are you sure? I would think you want 123 abc def

is it me or there is a comma??
i would split with
dim a() as string
a = split(string,", ")
string = a(1) & Space(1) & a(0)

I thought def was the name of the string, lol. I see now it is just another element. So, yes, split on comma

Aye Max, Based upon what OP SAYS he wants, then the comma would be used to split the string into TWO strings, not three....sometimes hard to determine JUST what an OP wants.

hey sam sorry i dont get the three strings?? maybe i am not reading your post properly ;)

Hey Max, no, I just saw that jms and datam might have misread OPs intent....(as did I when first looking at it). They both suggested (I THINK) to split the string into three strings, not two. YOUR post is correct (I think) as to what OP wants.

ahh yes with the split space it does make three strings :)

Who knows... the way the OP is worded is very difficult to be sure.

Ayup
