Without using strings???!!!

[khaled99]

Hello,

how can i build a new form that receives a text in a textbox and then displays the 5th and 10th characters of that text without using strings.(ex. if I entered in the first textbox 0123456789, after clicking the button it should shows in the other textbox the following numbers 4 9. (i know how to do it using strings, is there a way to do it without using a strings???!!!)

thank you

You can display it like:

Messagebox.Show(Mid(TextBox1.Text, 5, 1) & Mid(TextBox1.Text, 10, 1))

but I don't understand what you mean by "is there a way to do it without using a strings". Retreiving the Text property of the TextBox will return a string anyway, but if you meant by not declaring a variable with a string type then the above will work.

What is your reason for not wanting to use a string?

Make sure the .Length is >= 10 before pulling the chars though. And as the above poster mentioned, the .text property IS a string.

Once the value is converted to a numeric variable,

To find the "9", use value mod 10

To find the "4", divide by 100000, then do a mod 10
