'If' Question

[Tantrum3k]

What I'm trying to do is hard to explain but I'll give it my best shot.


Quick example:

Public Localcheat As String
 
If FindWindow("blahblah", vbNullString) Then Localcheat = "BanReason"
End If

Now here's the printing of the ban above:

Dim blah As String
 
blah = BanReason
Dim Fnum As Integer
Fnum = FreeFile
Open "C:\blahblah.txt" For Output As Fnum
Print #Fnum, "" & blah & ""
Close Fnum

I don't think that's how to do it but that's why I'm here, again . Hopefully you get my point when reading those.

Sorry, I don't really understand what your're trying to do.

You haven't explained anything at all. What is the problem?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Adding "" will not actually do anything. If you are trying to enclose the string 'blah' in quotes, use write instead of print, or add Chr(34). If you are trying to add a space, you might add Chr(32).

[BrianS]

You can also use 4 quotes to inclue a quote.

""""

Should that be

blah = "BanReason"
or
blah = Localcheat

?


And no, you make no sense.

Print #Fnum, "" & blah & ""

could just as easily be

write #Fnum, blah

Also use a naming convention...it's much easier to read:

Public mstrLocalcheat As String
 
Dim lngFNum As Long

lng = Long
str = String

and the 'm' in the mstr bit means that it's decalred at the top of a module, and not in a function.

I'm kind of opposed to warting, but slowly coming around to it because it is pretty convenient as long as you have consistent system. MS has a prefered style (Hungarian Notation), and apparently the badger has a style too....gee, I am SO surprised at that. However, which system is best probably depends on your personality and work environment.

There's no rule to it, it's just an idea that might make it easier to maintain your code.

Are you trying to have your program look for a window handle and if its open display the message? not sure if thats what you are after if so its simple if you know the windows handle. Hwnd
