Example
The following example deletes a specified line from a module.
Function DeleteWholeLine(strModuleName, strText As String) _
As Boolean
Dim mdl As Module, lngNumLines As Long
Dim lngSLine As Long, lngSCol As Long
Dim lngELine As Long, lngECol As Long
Dim strTemp As String
On Error GoTo Error_DeleteWholeLine
DoCmd.OpenModule strModuleName
Set mdl = Modules(strModuleName)
If mdl.Find(strText, lngSLine, lngSCol, lngELine, lngECol) Then
lngNumLines = Abs(lngELine - lngSLine) + 1
strTemp = LTrim$(mdl.Lines(lngSLine, lngNumLines))
strTemp = RTrim$(strTemp)
If strTemp = strText Then
mdl.DeleteLines lngSLine, lngNumLines
Else
MsgBox "Line contains text in addition to '" _
& strText & "'."
End If
Else
MsgBox "Text '" & strText & "' not found."
End If
DeleteWholeLine = True
Exit_DeleteWholeLine:
Exit Function
Error_DeleteWholeLine:
MsgBox Err & " :" & Err.Description
DeleteWholeLine = False
Resume Exit_DeleteWholeLine
End Function
You could call this function from a procedure such as the following, which searches the module Module1 for a constant declaration and deletes it.
Sub DeletePiConst()
If DeleteWholeLine("Module1", "Const conPi = 3.14") Then
Debug.Print "Constant declaration deleted successfully."
Else
Debug.Print "Constant declaration not deleted."
End If
End Sub
