[RESOLVED] Quick help with detecting words.

[Gamemaster1494]

Okay. Using the Split() function, i got the words just fine. But instead of having to do a bunch of or statements, is there a way to ignore the capitilization? Like it would return true if Hello was spelled Hello, hEllo, heLlo, helLo, hellO, hello, HeLlO, etc.?

If LCase$("HeLLO") = "hello" Then MsgBox "They are equal"

xD Seriously? Wow man. Thanks so much! XD That was easy. =D

If you are using a Split then a For loop to go through the result, use it to convert the whole string to lower case before splitting it, so you dont have to call LCase in each iteration.

SO LCase$ makes everything lowercase? So if i displayed the text somewhere, if some of it was upper case, it would be lower case instead?

[baja_yu]

Right. There's also the UCase function to convert everything to upper case.

Another option is StrComp()
If StrComp("Hello","HELLO",vbTextCompare)=0 Then ' they are equal

The advantage is a bit faster, because you are not returning a string which is done with LCase$.
