Subj : Finding a set of numbers within a String To : comp.programming From : RayKnight Date : Sun Oct 09 2005 02:51 am Lets say I have a set of randomly generated hexadecimal numbers. Say... 1. 45.7j.L9 2. 51.3g.D4 3. 67.99.62 I want to find out the last two numbers of the randomly generated hexadecimal numbers. How do I do that? I know in C++, you can simply use... string monkey = "dynamic" ; if (monkey[2] == "n" && monkey[3] == "a") { etc etc ; } But is there such a function in Visual Basic? I heard of a command using *, but is there a reference or anything I can use? References and links would be helpful, thank you. .
