VBA for Beginners – Chapter 11 : Assigning strings with repeated characters

Free eBooks for Beginners

VBA, or Visual Basic for Applications, is a programming language that can be used to automate tasks in Microsoft Office programs like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. One of the basic string manipulation techniques in VBA is the ability to assign strings with repeated characters.

In VBA, you can use the String function to create a new string with a specific number of repeated characters. The String function takes two arguments: the number of times you want the character to be repeated and the character you want to repeat. For example, if you want to create a string with 10 “*” characters, you would use the String function like this:

strAsterisks = String(10, "*")

You can also use the String function to create a string with a specific number of spaces. For example, if you want to create a string with 5 spaces, you would use the String function like this:

strSpaces = String(5, " ")

The Repeat function is another way to assign strings with repeated characters. The Repeat function takes two arguments: the string you want to repeat and the number of times you want to repeat the string. For example, if you want to repeat the string “Hello” 3 times, you would use the Repeat function like this:

strHello = Repeat("Hello", 3)

You can also use the & operator to concatenate a string with itself. For example, if you want to repeat a string “Hello” 3 times, you would use the & operator like this:

strHello = "Hello" & "Hello" & "Hello"

It’s also possible to use a loop to repeat a string multiple times. For example, you can use a For loop to repeat a string “Hello” 3 times.

In conclusion, understanding how to assign strings with repeated characters in VBA is an important part of becoming proficient in this programming language. With the String function, Repeat function and & operator, you will be able to create strings with repeated characters easily. Additionally, using looping mechanism like For loop can also achieve the same results. With practice and experimentation, you’ll be able to master these techniques and take your VBA skills to the next level.
