I have something I want to code in VB where I'm checking to see if a character in a string falls into a particular group of characters and if it does, change that character to something else.  Some languages have something like an enumeration type where you can do something like:

type chars is ('/' , '|', '*');

if filename[x] in chars then
.
.

I'm wondering how best to handle that in VB.  I see something called a 'Collection' that can be dimensioned, then items can be added.  Would this be the best way to this, or is there another construct I haven't found yet?  Thank you.

'validates if key entered is a NUMBER 'how to use.... 'Keyascii = validateNumber(keyascii) Public Function ValidateNumber(Source) As String     Select Case Chr(Source)         Case "0" To "9"         Case Else             If Source <> 8 Then                 ValidateNumber = 0                 Exit Function             End If     End Select         'because this function should return the character pressed         ValidateNumber = Source End Function

can you start with this first? i mean.. try to understand this piece of code, then you might be able to think further...

i'll help you once i get home... i'm just at a cafe right now hahahaha... okidokie?
