Out of string space in VisualBasic

Question

When performing the replace operation over a string I got an error: 'out of string space'

Answer 1

Quote from MSDN (for VBA, but usually similar for VB6):

*# Expressions requiring that temporary strings be created for evaluation may cause this error. For example, the following code causes an Out of string space error on some operating systems:

MyString = "Hello" For Count = 1 To 100 MyString = MyString & MyString Next Count

Assign the string to a variable of another name.*

So if you're doing something like (might not gotten the syntax correctly):

myStr = Replace(myStr, "from", "to")

Maybe you can do something like this instead:

dim temp as String
temp = Replace(myStr, "from", "to")
myStr = temp
