| Hello, I am trying to create a function that will look through a string and return values based on the characters present in the string. For example, I have the following name stored in playername$. playername$ = "Mouse" Basically, I want the code to look through each letter, and return a number based on the letter. If letter = M, return "2"; if letter = "o" return "6"; if letter = "u" then return "12" and so forth. Eventually I want it to look like this: Mouse 261245 I am pretty sure it is just a matter of incorporating the Len command with a few others, but I am not really sure where to begin. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks. |

newstring$ ="" for n=1 to len(playername) c$ = lower(mid(playername,n,1)) if c = "m" then newstring=newstring + "2" if c = "o" then newstring=newstring + "6" etc next or better still Dim Convert(26) convert(1) = 5 ; A = 5 convert(2) = 10 ; B=6 etc ; Probably best as a data statement newstring$ ="" for n=1 to len(playername) newstring = newstring + convert( asc(upper(mid(playername,n,1))) - 64) next Note... Totally untested.. Might have to make newstring=" " to force it to be a string first then chop off the first character. |
