D = B & C

should be correct, right?

An Very Simplified Example:
(Best viewed in fixed-width font)
(There are many other (and better) ways to do this)

A = "A Tall Lad Sold All The Desks"
'12345678901234567890123456789   29 characters long
R =   "Tall Lad Sold All The"This sub string is to be removed (21 chars 
long)
'Remove^ Remove R from within A  

X = INSTR$(A, R)   'This will make X = 3
Y = X + LEN(R) 'This will make Y = 3 + 21 = 24

'we want to remove starting from the 'T' in Tall to the 'e' in The
'What we're really doing is:
'...keep everything starting at the beginning up to the 'T' in Tall but not 
including it
'...and starting after the 'e' in The to the end

B = MID$(A,1,X - 1)'Keep the first part : Position 1...(X-1) = 1..2
C = MID$(A,Y)  'Keep the second part: Position 24 ..end  = 24..29

D = B + C  'Combine both together

PRINT D 
'result: D = "A  Desks"

i'd tend to use the Mid$() function. if you got the positions of the two 
delimiters it is as easy as
concatenating the string on the left of the beginning delimiter and the string 
on the right of the
right delimiter. code is beyond words:

Dim iStart, iEnd As Integer
Dim sRest As String

iStart = InStr(sWholeText, sBegDelim)
iEnd = InStr(sWholeText, sEndDelim, iStart) + Len(sEndDelim)

sRest = Mid$(sWholeText, 0, iStart - 1) & Mid$(sWholeText, iEnd)

which then is the parts before and after the found strings.

there may be off-by-one errors, i couldn't try it, but you get the idea.

regards,
tobi

Maybe you want to use a regular expression?

[Gambas-user] Delete sentance between words in a file.

2012-03-26 Thread sundar j
How do i delete a sentence/line between two matching words? For example i have 
a long paragraph starting with ABC-Start and ending with XYZ-End. I need to 
delete all the words including ABC-Start & XYZ-End. I have gone through the 
gambas documentation and found replace string function. However it did not do 
the job as i expected. Any help is appreciated.
