VB6 Join text

[C0ding]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a tool that can allow me to join text...
For example, my project have four listboxes like my example:

[One] [Two] [Three] <== these are thre list boxes or three
text boxes with multiline option, which the job is to make
something like this [One Two Three] after joining the texts.
The final job is suppose to be place it in the listbox four.
Please take a look my attachment for better understanding...
Thanks in advance

I assume you use listbox for all controls :
You can use '&' ampersand sign to concatenate all items with same index for every listbox.
See this following code :

Private Sub Command1_Click()
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    List4.AddItem List1.List(i) & List2.List(i) & List3.List(i) ' add items in list 1,2,3 to list 4
Next i
End Sub

Thank you so much Jx_Man :-)
Now that i see the code working, i was wondering if there was a way i can switch
from Listboxes to Textboxes so i can just copy and paste the text in Listbox 1,2,3.
God bless you JX, thank you for your help and support.

[Jx_Man]

what you mean exactly?
you want to use textbox instead of listbox?

[C0ding]

Thank you JX, i don't know what would be best for me...
I think my project will required more work, Here is exactly what am doing:

Listbox1 ()
Listbox2 All the text
Listbox3 ()

Then i will need to paste all the letter onto Listbox2 so i can get
something like this:

() Okay this is all the text from one of my documents. ()
() ()
() Now this is the second line of text, and so on... ()

The even if there is an emty space in the letter, my project
will still add these symbols in it, something like this ()().

[C0ding]

Now i think that if it is Textbox or Listbox,
I am looking for something like this example:

[C0ding]

Jx_Man, your code works perfect, but if i try with multiple
lines of text, i only get one line of text, i think there is
a breaking point in the text, and that is why i get only one
line of joined text in Listbox4.

[C0ding]

Hey! JX is working ^_^ it does work, but i have to add
the same amount of symbols as the text in order for the
coding to work, the only thing is that i will have to find
a way to add the symbols and the text when the project is compile.
i don't know how to explain, let me see if i can. okay, right now
i can easily add the symbols and the text to the project cuz is not
compile jet, but once is complile into an executable, there will be
no way i can add these symbols and text, unless i add some extra boxes
to add the text to Listbox 1, 2, and 3.

[Jx_Man]

Okay since you need to copy-paste text in textbox 2, then i rewrite this code.
I assume you have 3 textboxes and 1 listbox to join all text.
Try this :

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Dim myParas As Variant
    Dim i As Integer
    myParas = Split(Text2, vbNewLine)
    
    Dim a() As String
    a = Split(Text2, vbNewLine)

    For i = 0 To UBound(myParas)
        List1.AddItem Text1.Text & a(i) & Text3.Text
    Next
End Sub

[C0ding]

I think am gonna be alright, this is what i have so far...
I end up adding the fallowing to the project:

a textbox so i can add the main text to Listbox 2
then to Listbox 1 i added a buttom to add what ever amount of text
i need acording to how many lines of text i have in listbox 2, for
this i added one line of code to that buttom so i can count how many
lines of text is in listbox2 = in a label1 and did the same for listbox 3
a little complicate, but there i go :-) i also added a code to the Textbox
that send the text to Listbox2, cuz i needed to breake the multilines of text
from that textbox to be send to Listbox 2.

Oh wait! i was not aware of this :-)
Thank you! let me try and see how it works!
Thank you again

[Jx_Man]

Thank you again

Okay. Try it and give a feedback.
If you already managed it then post your code and mark this thread as solved.
It will help another member who has same problem like you. :)
Thank you.

[C0ding]

My code is complex :-) i think that i am the only one that
may understand it :-) but i will post the code here, and if
there is somebody out there that can make it better that will
be very nice, but for now i am happy atleast with this coding. :-)
Thank you for your help JX.

Ooops! i tried to upload the code with everything :-)
But i forgot i can't :-) okay i will post the code and
then the controls needed.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
List4.AddItem List1.List(i) & List2.List(i) & List3.List(i)
Next i
End Sub
Private Sub Command4_Click()
List4.Clear
Dim strLine() As String
Dim i As Integer
strLine() = Split(Text3.Text, vbCrLf)
For i = 0 To UBound(strLine)
List2.AddItem strLine(i)
Next
Label3.Caption = CStr(List2.ListCount)
End Sub
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim i As Long
Open App.Path & "\" & "Ok.txt" For Output As #23
For i = 0 To List4.ListCount - 1
Print #23, List4.List(i)
Next i
Close #23
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Icon = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
List1.AddItem Text1
Label1.Caption = CStr(List1.ListCount)
List3.AddItem Text2
Label2.Caption = CStr(List3.ListCount)
End Sub

1.) Form1
2.) Label1, Label2, Label3.
3.) Textbox1, Textbox2, Textbox3.
4.) Listbox1, Listbox2, Listbox3, Listbox4.
5.) CommandButtom1, CommandButtom2, CommandButtom3, CommandButtom4.

Thats it
