    First vb 6 program, need help formatting a body of text

    I have made a program to take in morse code in two forms with two types of formatting as follows;

    "."s and "-"s with "/"s to show the end of each character and spaces to show the end of each word

    1s and 0s with "/"s to show the end of each character and "//" to show the end of each word

    This all working fine, albeit probably not the most efficient program ever (its my first go at it). However the input text is cut up to fixed length lines and my program needs continous text.

    eg

    1010/1111/11
    0/111/1010/1
    11/10/1010/1
    01/1010

    instead of

    1010/1111/110/111/1010/111/10/1010/101/1010

    any suggestions on how i can get it to remove the spaces? when its in binary i can probably just get it to remove the spaces. when its in morse i cant let it do that because ill lose the ends of words.

    Any suggestions? nothing complex please.

    If you PM me the code, I'll have a look at it for you. Make sure you don't have VbCrLf anywhere you don't want it.

    I tried:

    txtInput = Replace(txtInput, vbCrLf, "")

    which seems to work.
    Thanks technophreak.

    yeah it sucks that schools and even universities still teach VB..VB.net is bad enough but VB6....gah they should teach people a real programing language.

    Still its good enough to get you started, even if it teaches you some terrible habits.

    Good going though mate stick with it Eventually if you can grasp most of the concepts in VB6 you won't find it that difficult to move to something better like C# or C++
