Deleting quotes

[jon1]

I am writing a password program for my PC but when I open the text file and put the text (password) in to a string then save a different password it puts quote marks round the new password which means it wont work next time. how can I delete these quote marks or get
it so it doesn't read them in.

EG "password"

Thanks Jon

Use the Replace function.

Dim strPW As String
strPW = "EG" & Chr(34) & "password" & Chr(34)
strPW = Replace(strPW, Chr(34), "")

Could you post your password loading and saving code?

No idea what you are talking about, but to read between the quotes, you can use Mid:

    Dim strPW as String
    strPW = Mid(Password, 2, Len(Password) - 1)

if you are writing to a text file with the Write Command
it will enclose the string in quotes...if you use the
Print Command to write it will not.
Open bla for bla as bla
Print #bla, mystring
close bla

No Quotes..

another way..if you use vb6 is the replace function.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim mySting As String
    mystring = """Help me out"""
    MsgBox mystring
    
    mystring = Replace(mystring, """", "")
    MsgBox mystring

End Sub

Thanks everyone!
I swapped the write Statement for print and it worked perfectly.

sunnyl:

I'm not exactly sure what you mean but to open the text file and read the text into a string
I used:

Open "C:\pass.dat" For Input As #1
Input #1, password
Close #1

and to write the file back to the file:

Open "Cass.dat" For Output As #2
Print #2, password
Close #2

Hope this helped
