Help with Strings? Thanks...

[rikkuswirls]

I'm in Introduction to Computer Programming, so I'm definitely new to this. My teacher doesn't... teach as much as he just deals out assignments, so sorry if I'm asking what one would call a "stupid" question. I appreciate any help, though! What we -need- is a book. Sigh.

Anyway.
In a windows console program, how would one go about checking to see if a string contains numbers, letters, spaces, ect.?

Thanks again.

Take a look at InStr()

Okay. Thanks!

If you're still reading, you may also want to consider using the MID() function, perhaps in a FOR...NEXT loop, to pick out and look at each character in the string.
