Question in re LIKE in VB 2005SearchDesigner(ByVal stringreader As String) As String) If LCase(stringreader) Like "*" & LCase(arDesigner(i, 0)) & "*" Then return(designer(i,1)) I'm reading a line of text from a font file / extracting copyright information from a font file (dependng on the type of font) then pass this line of text to this function. I parse my way though an array which looke like designer(i,0) (designer(i,1) > (c) Character Character The first two seem to operate properly but the third seems to return true> by Character Character > © Characte Character in any case where the string 'character' is found as if the © symbol were being ignored. The string 'Contains 5 character' matches '© Characte' which is giving me many false positives, if this make sense to anyone, could you offer a suggestion as to why it's occurring and how to make it behave as I'd like. //al al jones wrote:

"Character", is that meant to represent a single character, or is it sample text? Is designer(0,0)="(c)" and designer(0,1)="Character Character" or is designer(0,0)="(c) Character" and designer(0,1)="Character"? What is the relation of the variable arDesigner to the variable designer? What values are you passing in for the value of the variable "stringreader"? Would String.IndexOf be a better comparer for your purpose? Andrew On Thu, 21 Sep 2006 10:40:51 +0100, Andrew Morton wrote:

BTW, that was confusing - but Character is a font designer - so it's his name, not a 'symbol' I'll post a different question as soon as the coffee's ready. //al On Thu, 21 Sep 2006 10:40:51 +0100, Andrew Morton wrote:

French diacriticals, German umlauted and copyright symbols that I can identify at the moment. Again, thanks for looking //al
