I am having trouble with string functions, is there a limit to the size of string you can use in functions? In my program if you highlight part of a webbrowsers text, then you can align it left or right etc, this works with small sections but not large ones.
My code is making all the right changes but when Len(strselect) is over about 80 the replace function is not working
<pre>strTotal = Replace(strTotal, strSelect, strNew)</pre>

I have tried using Mid and Instr but these do not detect strSelect either.
Can I do these functions with large strings or am I going to have to break the strings up into an array
Someone please help before I go mad

I have tried this out and a string of 130+ chars was OK.

The only thing I can think of is that you may need to specify the Compare:=vbTextCompare argument in the replace function if perhaps the strings don't match by case for some reason.

Thanks!
I tried this out but still can't get more than eighty chars, which doesn't cover much when you take into account all the html tags.
is there a vbhtmlTextCompare, as I am using
Set web1 = WebBrowser1.Document
strTotal = web1.body.innerHTML
strSelect = web1.selection.createRange.htmlText
strNew=strSelect
to extract the string

I would suggest testing to see if web1.body.innerHTML is giving everything and the same for web1.selection.createRange.htmlText.

VB & VBScript do not have limits to strings.

I have checked this via pop up text boxes and the code matches exactly, also I know that anything less than 80 chars works fine so I can only guess that it has something to do with the length
