Type mismatch. where am I going wrong???

I keep getting this error.
06/27/01 08:35:05 Run time error at line 69. Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error Error: 800a000d. Description: Type mismatch

here is the code piece that keeps failing.
rpc = Replace(objmessage.Text, chr(13), " ",,,vbBinaryCompare)
rpc = Replace(x(15), chr(10), " ",,,vbBinaryCompare)

Anyone know why.

I have included the whole code below.

Okay, I need to look some more, but try using 0 instead of vbBinaryCompare (or publicly declare vbBinaryCompare and set it to 0).

I've never used char() in VBScript, so I'll have to check to make sure you can.

I've seen other code that leads me to believe that chr(13) can be used in vbs. I think the problem is in the objmessage.text
I don't know how to get around that.

I also tryed using 0 instead of vbBinaryCompare, nada

In vbscript, if you use one optional parameter, then you must use them all. So your code:

Quote:

---

rpc = Replace(objmessage.Text, chr(13), " ",,,vbBinaryCompare)

---

violates this rule, because you use the compare method but do not have values set for [start,[count.

To get your code to work, set it up like the following:

VB Code:

'=========================
'to test, just create a vbscript and 
'run on the desktop
'Replace Method Syntax:
'Replace(expression, find, replacewith[, start[, count[, compare]]])
'=========================
 
Dim rpc
Dim test_test
 
test_test="this is a test test" & vbcrlf & "new line is here"
msgbox test_test
 
rpc = Replace(test_test, chr(13), " ",1,-1,vbBinaryCompare)
rpc = Replace(rpc, chr(10), " ")
 
msgbox rpc

As you can see, in my first replace statement, I made start=1 (tells the script to begin at the start of the string) and count to -1, which tells the script to replace all occurences. Once these two properties are set, then I can use the vbBinaryCompare. In the second replace statement, I left those optional parameters out, and it worked exactly as the function above.

Quick note here, when the optional parameters are not defined, vbscript will automatically assume that start is =1, count is = -1 and compare is = vbBinaryCompare.

Hope this helps.

:D Excellent:D
I did not know that. That worked, thanks alot.
