How to code a function to check strings.

[jremio]

Hi all,

I just started programming about 1 week ago. i would appreciate if anyone can tell me how to code a function in VB6 that returns a values depending on the string it.

For example, if the parameter passed is a string containing the value #yyyy#, i want the function to return the year, eg 2008. And if the value of the parameter is #yyyy##mm# the function should return eg 200810. which is the year and month and so on. Can anyone suggest how am i going to do this?

Thanks!

since you are passing all the values what is the output you want ?
