how to use any coding with 1 alphabet

[RAMAND1]

hi, my question is that how can we use any coding with 1 alphabet.
like in module i made these-

global c1 as string
public function f1()
c1="End If"
End Function

and then in form coding-

after writing f1 to call f1
can i use c1 instead of end if

thanks

No, you can't. And why would you ever need to?

thanks for reply friend, i need it because i have to write some coding like this 200 times and every time something is different in the coding so i don't want copy paste also every time....i can say yes i can use copy paste too but want to make less coding app and want to know if it is possible......

thanks !

I'm sure we've had some info posted here about executing VB (or VBA or VBScript) code from a string. It may be worth a quick search...

Ahah! It's actually one that I wrote, back in 2007. See this link.

The only thing is that it requires additional coding. They're not wanting to run dynamic code, they want to change the required syntax. So instead of writing

If x Then
   Do y
End If

They want to write

If x Then
   Do y
c1

And they want it to compile. So they want the compiler to understand that c1 now means End If. Because it's apparently too time consuming to type End If.

Good point.

I recommend using other tools such as MS Word to generate repetitive stuff, then copy/paste everything in one big operation. Also, perhaps ironically, you can write a VB program to generate the variations, perhaps based on a small input each time. I've done that sort of thing many times for things like generating test data and so on.
