Getting rid of a piece of string

[Jacquesvdz]

I open a vbg file as text then I retrieve all the vbp.
But I don't want the "VBGROUP 5.0", "StartupProject" and "Project="
How do I do that.

And if I have the "Project=" gone how do I get the full path.




VBGROUP 5.0
StartupProject=HorizonAccPac.vbp
Project=BSHorizonAccPacDLL.vbp
Project=..\HorizonFramework\HorizonSharedTools.vbp
Project=..\HorizonFramework\HorizonFees.vbp
Project=..\HorizonFramework\HorizonInvestments.vbp
Project=..\HorizonFramework\HorizonParties.vbp
Project=..\HorizonDBAccess\HorizonDBAccess.vbp
Project=..\HorizonFramework\HorizonCompliance.vbp

If you are reading the file a line at a time, simply ignore the lines that you don't want:

Do While Not EOF(FileNum%)
Line Input #FileNum%, n$
Key$ = Left$(n$, Instr(n$ & "=", "=&quot -1)
If (Key$ <> &quot;VBGROUP 5.0&quot and (Key$ <> &quot;StartupProject&quot Then
Keep$ = Keep$ & n$ & vbCRLF
End If
Loop

Keep$ now holds the file without the bits that you don't want.

Thanks very much.
Maybe you are right, but I just want to get rid of the whole line &quot;VBGROUP 5.0&quot;


and the rest like &quot;StartupProject=&quot; and &quot;Project=&quot;
I want to keep the url after that.

EXample.

VBGROUP 5.0
StartupProject=HorizonAccPac.vbp
Project=BSHorizonAccPacDLL.vbp
Project=..\HorizonFramework\HorizonSharedTools.vbp

Must turn out like this

HorizonAccPac.vbp
BSHorizonAccPacDLL.vbp
..\HorizonFramework\HorizonSharedTools.vbp

Try looking up the Instr, Mid and Left functions in VBHelp. You will get everyting you need from there. It's often better for your ongoing development to do some of your own research than to have a fully written answer given.

Hi,

Since the length are the same, you can try to ignore the first few chars which you don't want
