    String Manipulation

    Sir,
    i am writing a program to convert text in my richtext box to another format.

    for a=1 to len(richtextbox1.text)
    b=mid(richtextbox1.text,a,1)
    if b="A" then
    c=c & "Z"
    elseif b="B" then
    c=c & "G"
    elseif b="C" then
    c=c & "T"
    elseif b="D" then
    c=c & "H"
    elseif b="E" then
    c=c & "K"
    ......
    ......
    .....
    else
    c= b
    endif
    next

    above is an abstract of my code. what my problem is when converting large text it takes very much time. how can my speed up my program? i wan to check one character by character. please help....

    Re: String Manipulation

    if you use a select case for the letters, with the most common first, no further cases are evaluated after the case is found, so this should save some time
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
