Don't you just love debugginh!
Sent a note to Steve, and my professor on this one. Smile, Killer, you hinted the code may not work as flawlessly as stated. Again, make no mistake about it, Steve's help has made a lot of sense, and yours, and still intend to engrave all names responsible (credits due and given). Going forward, I wanted to debug before screaming at the top of my lungs. And at the risk of making this one a mouth full, I will post several fables to explain the likelihood of drilling a hole in my notebook:-)
My friends, "I can't seem to find the meaning of funky"... if you like progressive house music, you might have heard above track. Anyhoot, my position is lost in the mix: -
-
Dim strGetWords As Long
-
strGetWords = InStr(1, Text6(0).Text, " " & Text1.Text & " ", vbTextCompare)
-
If strGetWords = 0 Then
-
Text1.Text = "?"
-
Else
-
Text6(0).SetFocus
-
Text6(0).SelStart = strGetWords
-
Text6(0).SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
-
End If
-
-
What's the problem now?
Well I'll tell you...Let's go to commercial first...

Tonight VB 6.0 Forum, followed by "The Love Boat"...click, click, click, we're back: -
-
Dim strGetWords As Long
-
strGetWords = InStr(1, Text6(0).Text, " " & Text1.Text & " ", vbTextCompare)
-
If strGetWords = 0 Then
-
Text1.Text = "I get nothing here"
-
Else
-
Text6(0).SetFocus
-
Text6(0).SelStart = strGetWords
-
Text6(0).SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
-
End If
-
-
I get nada if the first position. Example:
"Wheels on the bus goes round and round"
When round is searched Text1.Text = "Round"
When Wheels searched Text1.Text = "I get nothing here"
Let's "analyze this" problem, shall we?

I attempted to remove the " " $ and the & " " works just fine, and I do get Wheels, but I also get Wheels in "TheWheels" , sounds familiar: -
-
Dim strGetWords As Long
-
strGetWords = InStr(1, Text6(0).Text, Text1.Text, vbTextCompare)
-
If strGetWords = 0 Then
-
Text1.Text = "Wheels" Got this from TheWheels
-
Else
-
Text6(0).SetFocus
-
Text6(0).SelStart = strGetWords
-
Text6(0).SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
-
End If
-
-
'Text6(0).SelStart = strGetWords -1 did not do the trick
-

Your turn, Killer, or anyone who sees clearly what I intend to achieve. Just emailed my VB professor about this, he's been out the game, last he wrote; this should spring some interest. Now Killer, your code gives me the same result, Wheels not picked up but round does. Though it rids punctuation just fine, I must have done something silly to it, I am comparing the modified version to your and will post it in a moment...
In a bit, and thanks for your support, and patience.

You might want to try this slight modification to your code (I'll highlight the modified bit)... - Dim strGetWords As Long
-
strGetWords = InStr(1, " " & Text6(0).Text & " ", " " & Text1.Text & " ", vbTextCompare)
-
If strGetWords = 0 Then
-
Text1.Text = "I get nothing here"
-
Else
-
Text6(0).SetFocus
-
Text6(0).SelStart = strGetWords
-
Text6(0).SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
-
End If

Still attempting to diagnose Position Glitch in -
-
strGetWords = InStr(1, Text6(0).Text, " " & Text1.Text & " ", vbTextCompare) ...
-
-
Here is what I found out in your beautifully written code, Killer. It is now working and deals with positioning as suspected previously. It was not picking up the first word in "Wheels on the bus..." because of: -
-
Text6(0).SelStart = P - 1' I get an invalid use of property error
-
-
I commented it out Text6(0).SelSta rt = P - 1 and it works great. Now encountered another glitch. I decided t add the remaining text on the next line as in the below. I am now unable to find "and" but "so" does pop up:
The Wheels on the bus goes round (first line in Text6(0).Text)
and round, if so where...(second line in Text6(0).Text)
Any idea how to remedy this. You have a pretty good idea I amj sure, I simply can't see it:
Please see next posting, your function to fetch puntuation is apparently not working. I wonder if I've done something wrong, Again. The Module added to plug it in is called/and dot-noted " KillerSays.Word FoundInText", I now get an "argument not optional" error. I can't figure out how I made it work.
I am happy with it thus far, I am debugging, see what gives :-)

Much appreciated response...
Thanks for adding your two-sense here: I get the same deal as in the previous:
The Wheels on the bus goes round (first line in Text6(0).Text)
and round, if so where...(second line in Text6(0).Text)
"and" is not picked up, "The" is: -
-
Dim strGetWords As Long
-
strGetWords = InStr(1, " " & Text6(0).Text & " ", " " & Text1.Text & " ", vbTextCompare)
-
If strGetWords = 0 Then
-
Text1.Text = "?" ' for 'and' I get ?
-
-
I will keep going...

I am trying to convert a complex function from Oracle to SQL Server
and have come across Oracle's Instr() function. I see SQL Server has
CHARINDEX() which is similar, however it does not provide some key
functionality I need. Here is an example of the Oracle code:
if Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 3 ) > 0 then
sd := SubStr( sTg, Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) + 1, Instr( sTg,
cDelim, 1, 2 ) - Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) - 1)

OK. Here is a glitch, sorry if this has been mentioned before.
This is an erratic glitch. I am now up to three other people besides
myself who have been able to see this glitch. It seems it only
happens in IE. And the <hr> causes this thing to happen.
Now, I have ~tried~ to make this glitch, and that is tough to do. I
had did it that one time, and I should have saved the work. But I
didn't save the work :(
