Is there a way of setting the string Wildcard to true for multiple scenarios

This answer from you we have seen now twice, but it does probably for nobody describe what you want to doe. As Herfried already wrote (in another way) in an earlier message. A string can contain any collection of characters, A string is nothing more than an address in memory with a certain lenght. In the positions of that it is possible to set that collection of charecters (unicode) which exist per character of two bytes. A wildcard has nothing to do with that.

if string.instr(0,strTempValue,"this") >0 and string.instr(0,strTempValue,"that") >0 then 'we have a this or that match end if regex might be a better way to go especially if you are searching for something a pattern th?t or th?s where ? is the wildcard. <tommaso.gasta***@uniroma1.it> wrote in message Show quoteHide quote news:1155017437.989960.179030@75g2000cwc.googlegroups.com... > Perhaps he means comparing a string to a "template" provided by regular > expression > to see if it matches.

However, I suggest to use 'EnumWindows' too: <URL:http://groups.google.de/groups?q=dotnet+enumwindows+vb> -- M S Herfried K.
