delete the first charachter is left, 1=" "

[sal21]

I check with this routine if the first cahracter in strbuf is " ".
Is possible to reassign to the same var strbuf the line without the first blank caharcter?

Example:

If Left$(strBuf, 1) = " " Then
'ok have a blank
Debug.Print strBuf
strBuf=new line strBuf without " "
End If

origina line:
aaaaaaaaaa

after trasformation:
aaaaaaaaa

I think Hans understand me

strBuf = Mid(strBuf, 2)

[sal21]

strBuf = Mid(strBuf, 2)

Simple and effective!


remember my old post about to skip Host caharcter in txt file....

i loop line by line a txt and i need to skip the line in txt attached how to?

If i dont remeber wrong is a little square, or not?

There are several characters with ASCII code 12 (form feed) in the file, perhaps you can test for Chr(12).

oK resolved all about Chr(12), tks.

Now new "Miracle"

During the loop in txt file when go in this line:

RIFERIMENTO: PAG. NOTE:

the code exit for loop???????????????????????

In debug.print mode i dont see the little arrow, peraphs is a specila Host character?

See wat i have in debug print:
RIFERIMENTO: P

Inother case i dont see the other part after the litle arow, is a Miracle?

There could be an end-of-file character (ASCII 26) in the file; this would cause the code to stop reading the file there.

and how to trap this error?

[HansV]

You can't, if you open the file as a text file. You can only work around the end-of-file character if you open the file as binary, but that is very complicated.
Where does this file come from?

That is outside my field, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. Sorry.

No prob, tks in other case.
I caal my Admin and suggest to skip all Host command Chr when the file is created, i think is possible with a Cics.
