MS Access Forum / Modules / DAO / VBA / February 2005problem replaceall with vba code.
Hi. I wrote a procedure tha scan tx file, look for specific word and replace it by other. the problem I have is when the replaceable word is shorter than the original - I got at the end of the file garbage character. That meen if I had replaced all the apperance of the word 'red' with the word 'yellow' which were 9 times at the txt file. I would have at the end of the txt file 21 character. If I replace with a longer word the txt file will be O.K. I don't want to copy it to a new file. can anyone help me with that bug.? Thanks. >Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Thanks. how to you read and write that file? my guess is that you are using get and put? or you read fixed length? --- If you expect an answer to a personal mail, add the word "manfred" to the first 10 lines in the message MW Hi Maya, If editing a text file may change its length, the only way to do it is to read the existing file and create a new one containing the changes. >Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Thanks. -- John Nurick [Microsoft Access MVP] Please respond in the newgroup and not by email. I manage with the problem, I copy the new txt file to tmp file, and then 'kill' the old txt file and i rename the tmp txt file to the original name.not elegant but works....

That's how all text editing programs work under the covers! >I manage with the problem, I copy the new txt file to tmp file, and then >'kill' the old txt file and i rename the tmp txt file to the original [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> >> Please respond in the newgroup and not by email. -- John Nurick [Microsoft Access MVP] Please respond in the newgroup and not by email. |
