Avoid append operations with the Replace function [ All Languages » VB »  String] Total Hit ( 2865) Rate this article:     Poor     Excellent   Submit Your Question/Comment about this article Rating

I find the Replace function very useful when I want to avoid too many append operations just to insert non-printable characters. For example, the following statement: Click here to copy the following block MsgBox "Disk not ready." & vbCr & vbCr & _   "Please check that the diskette is in the drive" & vbCr & _   "and that the drive's door is closed." Here's a slightly more concise statement, that uses a temporary separator and then replaces it with the CR character: MsgBox Replace("Disk not ready.§§Please check that the diskette is in the " _   & "drive§and that the drive's door is closed.", "§", vbCr)
