textbox question the lines

[RonR]

I need to extract the lines of text in a textbox one at a time while omitting lines that are blank.

 

[giadich]

textbox has a .Lines property which is of string array. you can use it to filter out the blank lines.

 

[RonR]

how would I loop thru the array?

I am a newbie.

 

[.paul.]

Dim str As String
For Each str In TextBox1.Lines
     If str <> "" Then
        Debug.Print(str)
     End If
Next

 

[RonR]

ok and thanks. I will try it tonight.

Dim str As String
For Each str In TextBox1.Lines
     If str.Trim.Length > 0 Then
        Debug.Print(str)
     End If
Next

 

[RonR]

it worked, thanks!!!!

 

[RonR]

oops!!!


I have a problem.



str gives me this error:


Error 1 Loop control variable cannot be a property or a late-bound indexed array.


it worked in one sub but I cannot get it to work in any others.


what is happening????

 

[.paul.]

change the name of the variable

 

[RonR]

I will try it.

thanks!!!

Dim str As String
For Each str In TextBox1.Lines
     If str.Trim.Length > 0 Then
        Debug.Print(str)
     End If
Next

I have tried changing the srt but it still gives me trouble. it will not accept
any variable.

also, str is an internal command so that one may create a conflict anyway.

str is now an internal command? This must be new cause in VS 2005 and all versions of vb older than 2005, it's not.

Try this:

Dim MyString() As String = Textbox1.Lines
For Each CurrentLine As String in MyString
  If CurrentLine.Trim.Length > 0 Then
    'Your Code Here
  End If
Next

I have been using str to turn a number into a string.(I think).


ok. I will try your new code.

thanks!!! I will let you know.
