how to do this in VB6?

Question

i have a string:
'Title=some title'

i would like to get the string 'some title'. how should i go about doing it? thanks.

Answer 1

You can use a function like this:

Function GetParam(cKey As String) As String
Dim nPos As Integer

nPos = InStr(1, cKey, "=") + 1
GetParam = Mid(cKey, nPos, Len(cKey) - nPos + 1)
End Function

just call this function with something like:

cParam = GetParam("Title=some title")

Answer 2

Dim myString as String

myString = "Title=some title"

Dim result as String
Dim index as Integer
Dim length as Integer

index = InStr(myString, "=")
length = Len(myString)

result = Right(myString, length - index)

'result should equal "some title"

I don't have a VB6 environment available right now so there might be some minor bugs, but that's the general algorithm.

Answer 3

Dim myStr as string
'to write My Title into a text box or label
myStr = "My Title"
textbox1.text = myStr
label1.text = myStr

'to get the title entered into a textbox called txtTitle

myStr = txtTitle.text
