String.Format("My name is {0}", "Luciano Evaristo Guerche") (VB6)
A feature I loved in .NET (C# and VB.NET) is String.Format method. So I thought how I could have the same feature on VB6 and I came up with the following code.
Public Function StringDotFormat(ByVal strFormat As String, ByVal ParamArray aryPlaceHolders()) As String Dim intPlaceHolderIndex As Integer
Dim strOutput As String
strOutput = strFormat
For intPlaceHolderIndex = LBound(aryPlaceHolders) To UBound(aryPlaceHolders)
strOutput = Replace(strOutput, "{" & intPlaceHolderIndex & "}", aryPlaceHolders(intPlaceHolderIndex))
Next
StringDotFormat = strOutput
End Function
Then used it the following way
Call StringDotFormat("My name is {0}", "Luciano Evaristo Guerche")
