or something. Is there a code for CONTAINS?

Thanks in advanced

look at the help files for text, and scroll down. I think DB has the command "mid$" and "len"

for i= 1 to len(hhh$)
if mid$(hhh$,i)="a" then play sound 1
next i

that should work, though untested

The code he used is a FOR....NEXT loop.

'i' is the letter that he used. It could be anything (most people used x or t)



That code will repeat 5 times, each time t will be different (first it will be 1, then 2, then 3.....). Whenever you put t in the loop it will be replaced with a number.

It's quite hard to explain but play with it and you'll get the idea.

To search a string for any given amount of characters, just use the instr$() command.
