Hello!

I have a perfomance problem with Mid$ when i parse large strings. With a loop i run through large strings with round about 200000 characters.

Example:
For i=1 To Len(string)
...
loop

This runs very quick. But if i add an if-statement with Mid$ for every step, it gets very slow.

Example:
For i=1 To Len(string)
If Mid$(string,i,5) = "Hello" Then
substring = right$(string,i,len(string))
end if
loop

Does anyone have a better idea to parse the string?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Bernd
