Great post, very handy.
Thanks

pardon me for getting you into trouble, but how would you do this?
in C++ str1[5] = "s" (im asigning "s" to the fifth (or six indeed) element in string)
but in vbasic str1(5) = "s" is not posible!!!
x_x how is posibble that in a higher level language a basic operation like that cant be posible in a simple way?!!! x_x

[techgnome]

The reason is because C doesn't have the string data type. Strings are an array of character, then end of which is signified by a NULL termination character.

That's why str1[5] works in C/C++ ... you're accessing the 6th element (it starts with 0) of the character array. VB doesn't represent strings as an array of characters, so what you are doing in the simplest sense, doesn't work.

Not to mention that strings are immutable... meaning any change to the string results in a new string being created.

While we may not be able to do that easily with a single call, it's also not that hard to assign a single char within a string either:

Dim Str As String = "12345"
Dim Chars() As Char = Str.ToCharArray()
Chars(2) = "a"c
Str = Chars

That being said, it's extremely rare when I need to assign a single char at a specific location within a string. Usually I'm replacing a certain char (or a string) within a string regardless of it's location.

Thanks for the answers.
