Newbie Syntax Issue revisited

**Jadee77** · 08-17-2019, 03:24 PM

This is strange as I thought I had this working but today when I came back to work on it, it no longer worked. I am trying to look at a cell in Column B and see if it has a carriage return and then if it does I want it to trim out anything after the character return then display a message box with what is left. I have the code that I thought was working two weeks ago below. I'm assuming this is a simple syntax error but I don't know what might have changed. Any ideas?

p.s. the error I am getting is 'invalid procedure or argument" Thx.

I may have just figured out part of the issue. If I remove the 'or' portion and just stick with Chr(10) or Chr(13) then it works. But is there a way to make it work for both?

As a beginner starter :

PHP Code:


Sub Demo1() 
Dim T$ 
    T = Split(Split([B1].Text, vbLf)(0), vbCr)(0) 
    MsgBox IIf(T = [B1].Text, "Ok", "CR or LF present" & vbLf & vbLf & T), vbInformation, "Check CR/LF" 
End Sub

Another demonstration from your initial code (for which you must use code tags or specific icon as per forum rules) :

PHP Code:


Sub Demo0() 
    Dim S$, T$, V, L& 
        S$ = "Ok" 
        T = [B1].Text 
    For Each V In Array(vbCr, vbLf) 
        L = InStr(T, V) 
        If L Then T = Left(T, L - 1): S = "Text before char #" & Asc(V) & " :" & vbLf & vbLf & T 
    Next 
        MsgBox S, vbInformation, "Check CR/LF" 
End Sub

Administrative Note:

Jadee77

We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code. You have been reminded of this rule before.

Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

(Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

So sorry. Read that before going on vacation and forgot. I will do that on my next post.

Thank you both. Got it solved using some of what you wrote.
