if 0 < Instr(1,strW,&quot;:\&quot then
...string contains

hi, I've another doubt, how do i detect if it's empty? for previous i've been detecting &quot;:\&quot;
how do i detect if the whole string is empty from user's input?

If the whole string is not empty:
If myStr <> &quot;&quot; Then
'string is not empty
Else
'string is empty
End If
