i have a string (fpoem) and after the 3rd tag is found it ends the fpoem. Does anyone know how to do this? Basically this is a sample below...

fpoem = "There was adog in theroad and i almosthit it. But a barely missed itand hit a cat instead."

so after i run it thru the function, i would get...

fpoem = "There was adog in theroad and i almost"

If you dont udnerstand then i will try to explain more.

I'm not saying this will work, but you can try it...


strPos1 = InStr(fPoem, "<p>")
strPos2 = InStr(strPos1, fPoem, "<p>")
strPos3 = InStr(strPos2, fPoem, "<p>")

fPoem = Left(fPoem, strPos3)

I still dont know the above script works, but *assuming* it does, if you want to save the rest of the string, try using the one below...


strLength = Len(fPoem)

'Count the <p>'s
strPos1 = InStr(fPoem, "<p>")
strPos2 = InStr(strPos1, fPoem, "<p>")
strPos3 = InStr(strPos2, fPoem, "<p>")
'Make sure you can save the rest of the string
strLength1 = strLength - strPos3
fPoem1 = Right(fPoem, strLength1)
'Get string until 3rd <p>
fPoem = Left(fPoem, strPos3)
