Help with string parsing/manipulation (Brain Teaser).

[Talismanic]

charityg,

My first post was taken from the form that the state provides us, so it was easy to make that relatively clear. I knew the end result I needed to get to but I didn't know how to get there. So it was just a matter of breaking it down into steps I could understand.

The cool formatting is actualy just a cut and past from an image on my desktop. I just uploaded the images to a website and used the UBB image tag.

DALeffler,

That code loses me completely but I am going to try it out and see If I can figure out what it is doing and why. Thanks!

Mike,

Actualy the codes are entered into a text box to provide a report on the spot, right now it never gets stored into a table.

And thanks again to everyone who helped me with this. I would still be on step one without you all.

Isn't it better to store the values entered for historical reasons?

Rich, these codes come off from a sheet provided by the county that the work is being done in. It will vary county to county and job to job.

The reason for the Sub is to produce a quick cheat sheet for the job superintendants with all the time specs. Otherwise they have to figure it out by hand. The cheat sheets are printed out and put in the job folder which provides for all the historical needs we may have.

If the sheet was ever lost, all it takes is for the super to punch in the code and reprint the sheet.

Just a small improvement Tal.

There's no need to include 2 For...Next Loops
You can include both sequences under the same loop
