Len() returns length in bytes and String.Len() returns length in characters. Use latter for UTF-8 strings. See the documentation.
> sText = String.Mid(PrintedTextBox.Text, 1, String.Len(PrintedTextBox)) I assume you mean: sText = String.Mid(PrintedTextBox.Text, 1, String.Len(PrintedTextBox.Text)) But still that doesn't make any sense, since the result is exactly same as with: sText = PrintedTextBox.Text It's just hard way to do the same. I don't understand what you are trying to do. Jussi On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 10:07 PM, John Rose <[email protected]> wrote: > Jussi, > > I spoke too soon.
