A Asmoro Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 27, 2012 #1 Hi all, I perfectly use the AutoCompleteEditText_ TextChanged to catch the first 3 characters in a filename with a part of the code "If New = St.substring2(0,3) Then.......etc. But what I have also to catch characters in the middle or end of a filename? Someone having a solution for this?

However it only works with the prefix. You should use a database if you want to find matches that do not start at the beginning. Another option is to build a small index. This is how the IDE "find sub" tool works: Upvote 0
