Replace text in textbox. Yes that so simple...

[Horowitz]

Well, I write: textbox1.text.replace("hi","hello")
but nothing happens. I suppose that it will work like below:

Textbox1.text: After replacement:
hi hello
HI hello 'not case sensitive
high hellogh


Any "support" for this easy ...thing?

Tnx

textbox1.text is a function of tghe TextBox Class that returns a string.

Replace is a Function of the String class.

Try
textbox1.text = textbox1.text.replace("hi","hello")

The replace method does not act on the string it is invoked on but rather returns a new string base on the string it is invoked on as input.

So you need to do this:

textbox1.text = textbox1.text.replace("hi","hello")

Dim RegX
Dim SearchPattern, ReplacedText

Set RegX = NEW RegExp
SearchPattern = "hi"
RegX.Pattern = SearchPattern
RegX.Global = True
textbox1.text = RegX.Replace(textbox1.text, "hello")
