version comparison

okay. ive got to compare some versions of a program.

i have to a String, that is the version number i am comparing too, with the current verison of the program. the string is, say

sNewVersionNo = "1.3.0"

i know there are inbuilt functions in VB6 that can convert this is an integer withou the decimal points. so, i want it to become

iNewVersionNo = 130

then i can make a seperate integer for the current version number:

iCurrentVersionNo = (App.Major * 100) + (App.Minor * 10) + App.Revision

then i only have to compare to two. ie

If iNewVersionNo > iCurrentVersionNo then

my question is, how do i make a string "1.3.0" become an integer 130?

This could be a round-about way to do it, but if you have

1.3.0... then you could do something like this...



I'm fairly sure that there is a way to remove all occurences of a a string in another string, but I can't remember right now.. I'm stuck in Holiday Mode

Hi,Fisherman!U give a good method,but i find a mistake which u didn't take care of:the assignment of strtemp variable.
I modify your code as:
dim strTemp as string
dim strTempArray() as string
dim strresult as string
dim intFinal as integer
dim i as Integer

strtemp="1.3.0" 'Put your variable holding this value here
strTempArray() = Split(strtemp, ".")
strresult=""
for i = 0 to UBound(strTempArray)
strresult = strresult & strTempArray(i)
next i
intfinal = cint(strresult)

No.. I didn't worry about the reassignment of the variable. I often reuse Temp variables because I don't want to allocate more memory space for an extra variable if it's only going to be used for a small amount of functionality

Thanks guys, I used that example and it works like a charm now! I remember using the Split method now, so hopefully I'll remember it next time I need to use it!

Thanks again

glad to be of service
