[VB] I need a "not like" statement

[hobblyhoy]

haha, Ive been milkin you guys with all my VB problems today ;)

Alright so I have a check to make sure that the number entered is actully a #, it goes:

If min.Text Like "#" Then betch.Value = 1

thing is farther dow I want to have another check where if it detects anything but a number I want it to set betch.value to 0. So bascilly what Im looking for is a "not like" command or any workaround. Thanks, you guys have been of great help to me on this project of mine.

Quick and dirty solution (I'm sure there are better, but I haven't dabbled in VB for a while)

If.....

Else betch.Value = 0

oh man, thank you. this forum has made me feel stupid multiple times now. argg!! :) seriously though thanks for that.

EDIT: hmm it works but not very well, if I cant figure out whats wrong in the next few minutes Ill post it up here.

EDIT: I figued it out, I needed the "Else betch.Value = 0" on both levels of my nested if.

EDIT: alright probelm # 2. I have this line of code:

 If hour.Text Like "#" Then
--long list of stuff down here but adventuly turns off something

problem is, as you may know, an hour can be 1 digit, or 2 digits. What Im looking for this time is like an

if hour.text like "#" or "##" then

kind of command, any ideas on this one?

If I dont get a response Ill make anew thread.

the IsNumeric() function would tell u if its a number or not...

also "Not" is a keyword so "Not Like" should work

[hobblyhoy]

how does isnumeric work? can you give me an example?

edit: figured it out, nevermind.

Just put the isnumeric() in an if statement

I dont know if this is the exact syntax for VB because I havnt touched it in almost a year.

if isnumeric(textbox1.text) then

textbox2.text = "ITS A NUMBER!!!"

else

textbox2.text = "ITS NOT NUMBER!!! WHY NOT???"

end if
