String Function
Returns a repeating character string of the length specified.
String(number, character)
Arguments
- number
Length of the returned string. If number contains Null, Null is returned.
- character
Character code specifying the character or string expression whose first character is used to build the return string. If character contains Null, Null is returned.
Remarks
If you specify a number for character greater than 255, String converts the number to a valid character code using the formula:
character Mod 256
The following example uses the String function to return repeating character strings of the length specified:
Dim MyString
MyString = String(5, "*") ' Returns "*****".
MyString = String(5, 42) ' Returns "*****".
MyString = String(10, "ABC") ' Returns "AAAAAAAAAA".
