Counting number of characters in string

[meldrape]

Hi all,

I need to be able to count the number of characters in a line and add a &quot;<BR>&quot; tag, like a replace function, but I don't know the syntax. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now I have:

text=replace(text,vbCrLf,&quot;<BR>&quot
This isn't working because there are no actual hard returns in the text. It's actually text from an email and copied and pasted into a textarea. If think if I knew how to count characters through code, I could insert a &quot;<BR>&quot; after a certain number... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance.

see if this works (or something close):

textB = &quot;&quot;
For i = 1 to Len(text) Step 60
textB = textB & Mid(text,1,i) & &quot;<BR>&quot; & Mid(text,i,Len(text))
Next
text = textB

- In case of doubt, make it sound convincing.

correction:

I think:

For i = 1 to Len(text) Step 60

should be:

For i = 60 to Len(text) Step 60

or what ever number of characters make up a line.
