A Question About String's

[Synth]

When I type a sentence into InputBox with the String "(Lol)" . It doesnt find it.

Is there any way to fix this?

CODE

$b = InputBox("This" ,"Doesn't work" ,"","")

If $b == "(Lol)" Then

MsgBox(0,"It works","but,it doesnt")

EndIf

Lose the brackets

$b = InputBox("This" ,"Doesn't work" ,"","")

If $b == "Lol" Then
MsgBox(0,"It works","but,it doesnt")
EndIf

With the thing that Im doing i need the brackets.

And I tried it,it doesn't work..

I don't understand what the problem is. I just ran the code you posted and it worked fine for me.

I typed "(Lol)" without the quotes and $b was returned with exactly that and the message box displayed.

Have I misunderstood something here?

You are aware that

$b == "(Lol)"

is case sensitive.

$b = "(Lol)"

is case insensitive

Your example fails if you enter "(lol)".

I mean't when i type a sentence (ie: "This makes me go (Lol)" without the quotes ) it doesn't return the message box. But if i just type "(Lol)" It does.

picaxe > Im aware of that.

Nope that doesn't work for me...

I already made it case sensitive,but that's not what i want.

Ps: Look at the 6# post.

Try this.

$Input = InputBox("This" ,"Doesn't work" ,"","")


$b = StringInStr($Input, "(Lol)", 1); '1' makes it case sensitive.

If $b > 0 Then
MsgBox(0,"It works","but,it doesnt")
EndIf

I made a mistake I believe. Give that a shot.

Hi,

If StringInStr(InputBox("This", "Doesn't work", ""), "(Lol)", 1) Then MsgBox(0, "It works", "Works")

So long,
