I'm kind of looking for some guidance in respect of this obstacle I'm
up against - please let me expand;
I have an option group with three options (AND, OR, & NONE) and a text
box which will accept free text - the text will become criteria in a
SQL string and depending upon the option the WHERE clause will be
AND/OR LIKE textCriteria1 AND/OR LIKE textCriteria2.. ..
I'm trying to create a VBA function to take the free text and break up
the component words and return them back for use in the WHERE
clause.... and I'm stuck at this point!
I'm quite looking more guidance and pointers on this, rather than some
kindly person providing an elegant VBA code script.
I know what I'm doing after I've got the SQL string built, it's just
breaking the component words into an AND/OR string for the WHERE
clause.
As I say, any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Well, you have to consider precedence:
Where (State = "FL" or State="AL") And SalesGuy = "JIM"
is different from:
Where State = "FL" or State="AL" And SalesGuy = "JIM"
I would almost think you'd be better off leaving a text box and let
them freeform type the where clause.

Hi Chris
Thanks for the quick response - good point about the precedence.
It's intended the criteria be applied to a single memo field, so I need
to think this through little.
Cheers

I built a text search similar to what you want. Had 4 textboxes
one above the other labeled "enter keyword to find" with
3comboboxes containing blank; and;or;and not; between
the textboxes. all except the first textbox were not visible.
The first textbox's afterupdate event set the first combo's
..visible to true, the first combo's after update set the second
textbox's .visible to true, and so on. If any comboboxes had
differing connectives, A little modal form would pop up and
allow the user to option
(x and y) or z
x and (y or z)
created from "(x " & cbo1 &" y) " & cbo2 & " z"
"x " & cbo1 &" (y " & cbo2 & " z)" for three variables,
(W or x) and (y or z)
W or (x and y) or z
or
(W or x or y) and z
W or x or (y and z)
then some additional code built the Where clause.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Hi Bob,
Many thanks - that's certainly food for thought!
I'll ruminate on that, given the far greater flexibility it offers for
my search.

I have been looking for a php word wrap function. I know there's an
official PHP function but I've tried that and many of the functions
contributed on that php.net page and none do what I want...and some act
weird as well.
I want, If I say break at 150 chars then the function will break at the
nearest space to 150 ie. it will actually break at the word boundry. And
if theres a url it will not break inside a URL, it will leave URLS alone....

I use this function that I wrote for inputting strings. It's meant to
return a pointer to mallocated memory holding one input string, or 0 on
error. (Personally, I prefer to use 0 to NULL when returning null
pointers.) It looks pretty watertight to me, but my version of lint
complains about use of deallocated pointers, etc. Is this code
completely safe on all input, or have I missed something?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
