2 Unrelated Questions: VBasic and game controllers

Factual Questions

      • Just conserving electrons,
        VBasic: I need to search for a string in an rtf file displayed inside a rich-text-box. I am only supposed to find free-standing words though, not every incidence of the string’s letters. Testing for a space first, then the string, and then another space I can figure out, but how do I test for a vbCrLf? Assigning vbCrLf into a string variable does not seem to be working. Is there any other way to do it?

Game controllers: You may already know of my appreciation for the Microsoft Dual Strike game controller. My question is, many places online offered another slightly more expensive (by a few dollars) than the “regular” one. Often the descriptions are identical. Both have the letters “USB” in their product codes. Was there ever a second version? Egghead, for instance, has a poto and description of the regular one, but neither for the “special” one that they charge a dollar higher for. - MC

Just a guess, but many controllers come bundled with a couple of games that are compatible with it. Perhaps the more expensive one is so bundled, while the cheaper one is just the controller.

Have you tried testing for a CHR(13)? Not sure it’ll work in an RTB, but I remember getting it to work on plain text.
