Searching textbox?

[brandon01]

Anyone have any idea how to search a textbox for a word and get the next word after it in vb6?

example:

"message" "hello"

The code should get the 2nd word, "hello".

I've been trying to find a way to do this, so far I can search for a word but can't find a way to ignore the space character between the words and copy the 2nd word up to the next space character.

Thx...

use something like

dim tstr as string 'the string you are trying to find

''look for word
dim i
i = instr(textbox.text,"message")

'look for space after word
dim k
k = instr(i + 1,textbox.text," ")

'look for space after first space, and if j returns zero then the word you want is the last word

dim j
j = instr(k + 1,textbox.text," ")
if j <> 0 then tstr = trim(mid(textbox.text,k + 1,j-k)
if j = 0 then tstr = trim(right(textbox.text,len(textbox.text) - k)))

something like that. Hope it helps,
