This function will take a string with a dollar sign anywhere and remove it. I use this function to update a value in a database that is
VBcoders
Dim strReplace As String
strReplace = "$200"
MsgBox StripDollarSign(strReplace)
End Sub
Private Function StripDollarSign(strOldString As String) As String
On Error GoTo StripDollarSignErr
'This function removes the dollar sign from fields in order to update
'the database. Fields are numeric in SQL.
Dim Counter As Integer
Dim I As Integer
Dim strX As String
Dim strUrl As String
For I = 1 To Len(strOldString)
strX = Mid(strOldString, I, 1)
If strX = "$" Then
Counter = Counter + 1
If Counter = 1 Then
I = I + 1
strX = Mid(strOldString, I, 1)
Do While strX <> ""
strX = Mid(strOldString, I, 1)
If strX = "" Then
Exit For
End If
strUrl = strUrl & strX
I = I + 1
Loop
End If
Else
strUrl = strOldString
End If
Next
'Set new string = function to return
StripDollarSign = strUrl
StripDollarSignExit:
Exit Function
StripDollarSignErr:
App.StartLogging App.Path & "\Error.log", vbLogToFile
App.LogEvent Err.Description, vbLogEventTypeError
Resume StripDollarSignExit
End Function
