    String function in VB

    I am having trouble remembering a string function that I used a while
    back in VB. I don't know if it was .NET specific.

    The function either searched a string or replaced a substring in a
    string or something similar. The main thing I remember about the
    function is that it used regular expression like syntax for the
    filtering mechanism.

    I know this is vague but any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

      JR,

      Yes this is super vague the most I could make from your question was the
      string.replace

      http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fk49wtc1.aspx

      dim mystring as string = "12345".replace ("23","99")

      I hope this helps,

      Cor

          Yes...."super vague" is an understatement. The function in question was
          not a member function of the string class. The key was that it used
          "regular expression" like syntax for the filter.

                  Maybe you are referring to VB's 'Replace' function or 'Like' operator.

                      YES! It was the 'Like' operator I was trying to remember.

                      Thanks!
