reversing a string using a loop

Does anyone know how to reverse a string using a loop?

Hi,

first why doesn't

StrReverse( ) work for you?

for example:
TextBox1.Text = StrReverse(Text Box1.Text)

This is a loop that does the same as StrReverse

Dim strToReverse As String
strToReverse = TextBox1.Text
TextBox1.Text = ""
For i As Integer = strToReverse.Le ngth To 1 Step -1
TextBox1.Text &= Mid(strToRevers e, i, 1)
Next

Thanks for the reply. I know about that and yes it does work. I just heard
there was a way to do it using a loop and I am having trouble getting it to
work.

How about this?

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Option Strict
Imports System

public Class [class]
Public Shared Sub Main

Dim s As String = "Some randomly selected string to reverse"
Console.WriteLi ne(s)
Console.WriteLi ne(Reverse(s))

End SUb

Public Shared Function Reverse(s As String) As String
Dim c1() As Char = s.toCharArray
Dim offset As Integer = c1.length - 1
Dim c2(offset) As Char

For ndx As Integer = 0 To offset
c2(offset - ndx) = c1(ndx)
Next

Return New String(c2)
End Function
End Class

I already have the my read and write gif functions working, but I just need to know how to reverse the contents.

Yeah I know strings == immutable, but question 1 in section 7.14 of "How to think like a computer Scientist" has me trying to reverse one. I've come up with two things, one works almost like it should except that every traversal thru the string I've gotten it to repeat the "list" again. This is what it looks like: for char in x: mylist.append(char)
