.... in real these values will go to another WBK.
:::
or now just one question, "public" will always declare for userfrom means storing value either within WBK or for Other WBK.

Public means that the variable will be "known" in all code modules of the same workbook, but not in code modules in other open workbooks. .

If Public variables are being the things that go in a normal code module, as I think they are, technically, or officially, or words to that effect, then that is the case that they won’t be known in other workbooks.
In other words, for the purposes of what is going on here, it means you will need to be storing them in the same workbook, as Hans said, and how he demonstrated.

However, you can do something that technically is not involving Public variables, but as far as I can tell, to all intents and purposes, is in effect the same thing as if you could have those Public variable in a different workbook.

The short story is:
Instead of putting the two public variables in a standard normal code module, ( in the same workbook) as Hans did, we can put them in any Class object code module in any open workbook. Technically they are not called Public variables. They are , I think, properties of the instantiated Class object, and we can access them, in the usual way that we access properties of an object.

The full story
PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls
I have another workbook uploaded, PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls . That is just to hold these variables. (I will call them “pseudo” Public variables, just because I feel like it

),
I can put them in any Class object code module, but just for fun, I will put C1 in a worksheet code module, and C2 in the ThisWorkbook code module.

So, this is what Hans did, public variables in a standard normal module like
Standard module, Module1

Code:

 Public C1 As String
Public C2 As String

Instead of doing that , I will put those variables in Class object code modules in PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls, like this:

Worksheet code module, Sheet1

Code:

 Public C1 As String
'
'
'
Sub PhilC1(ByVal Wrd As String)
 Let C1 = Wrd
End Sub

Workbook code module, ThisWorkbook

Code:

 Public C2 As String
'
'
'
Sub PhilC2(ByVal Wrd As String)
 Let C2 = Wrd
End Sub

*** The reason for those extra macros that fill the variables will be apparent shortly….
_.__________________________________-

Sample for Eli.xlsm
I need to modify now the workbook uploaded by Hans, in 3 main ways:
_(i) I don’t need the two public variables in a standard normal code module anymore
_(ii) I need to modify slightly how I reference the variables

Code:

 Sub Fi_l()
    'Act_ive
 'Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = C1
 Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").C1
 'let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = C2
 Let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").C2
End Sub

_(iii) Filling the variable is slightly more tricky. As far as I know, I can’t easily directly fill them from a macro in Sample for Eli.xlsm. - ***Edit: not true - see next post!! But I can run those extra macros*** that fill the variables, from Sample for Eli.xlsm
So to do that I modify the coding in the UserForm thus, ( for the purposes of this demo, I assume the two workbooks are stored in the same place):

Code:

 Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Select Case Me.CheckBox1
     Case True
      'C1 = "yes"
      Application.Run Macro:="'" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls'!Sheet1.PhilC1", Arg1:="Yus"
    End Select
    Select Case Me.CheckBox2
     Case True
      'C2 = "yes"
      Application.Run Macro:="'" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls'!ThisWorkbook.PhilC2", Arg1:="Ja"
    End Select
 Unload Me
 Call Sheet2.Fi_l
End Sub

_.____

That’s it. So download both files, store them in the same place, and then the coding in Sample for Eli.xlsm should work as before. The only difference is that you are using the “pseudo” public variables in the workbook PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls

_.________________________________________________ _____________________

I have not seen this use of “pseudo” public variables much before, so there may be some reason I don’t know about why they should not be used??
But I use them myself sometimes, and so far I have never seen them behave any differently to “proper” public variables

( I would just finally say that I don’t use public variables much myself, pseudo or otherwise, if I can find another way to do what I want. I don’t like public variables myself. For one reason: I find they have an annoying habit of getting emptied sometimes. )

Second simplified Solution

I think in the first solution I made initially a mistake in trying to set the pseudo public variables, *** and so went off in a tangent using the Application.Run stuff. You don’t need any of that and can forget the two macros that fill the variables as well.

You just need this

Worksheet code module, Sheet1 ( in PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls )

Code:

 Public C1 As String

Workbook code module, ThisWorkbook ( in PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls )

Code:

 Public C2 As String

And then the other macros are like

Code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Select Case Me.CheckBox1
     Case True
      'C1 = "yes"
                                          '  Application.Run Macro:="'" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls'!Sheet1.PhilC1", Arg1:="Yus"
     Let Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").C1 = "Yus"
    End Select
    Select Case Me.CheckBox2
     Case True
      'C2 = "yes"
                                          '  Application.Run Macro:="'" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls'!ThisWorkbook.PhilC2", Arg1:="Ja"
     Let Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").C2 = "Ja"
    End Select
 Unload Me
 Call Sheet2.Fi_l
End Sub

Code:

Sub Fi_l()
    'Act_ive
 'Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = C1
 Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").C1
 'let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = C2
 Let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").C2
End Sub

Some extra notes for this Thread:
http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=38460

Hans Solution http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtop...297266#p297266
This is a nice solution which I totally misread, or rather in my ignorance, I did not understand.

The main point I missed is…
The solution assumes that the final solution actually has a 26 element 1 dimensional array, and the weight numbers in that array are sorted in alphabetical order, so that the first element represents the weight for “A” and the last Element represents the weight for “Z”, etc.
( So the array Letters() is redundant, and only the Weights() array is needed )
Hans has kindly set me straight and explained where I was going wrong. The final working version of his solution is

Code:

Sub Testit()
 MsgBox prompt:=Weight("ZAC")
End Sub
' https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=38460&sid=4295ec4560088f42492ca29590271a87
Public Function Weight(S As String) As Long ' http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=297266#p297266
Dim Weights() As Variant  ' Letters() As Variant,
Dim i As Long
'    Letters = Array("A", "B", "C", ..., "Z")
'    Weights = Array(1, 5, 3, ..., 2)
 '                     A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
 Let Weights() = Array(1, 5, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2) ' Watch : - : Weights() :  : Variant/Variant(0 to 25) : Module1.Weight
    For i = 1 To Len(S)
     Let Weight = Weight + Weights(Asc(Mid(S, i, 1)) - 65)
    Next i
End Function

How is that working:
We are looping through each character, then doing something clever to get the running total. The clever bit is getting the array element
To demonstrate that working consider a couple of examples for the case of a word having an A and a Z in it
A has the Ascii Code number of 65. So we end up referring to Weights(65-65) = Weights(0) , which is the first element typically in a 1 dimensional array that starts at indicia 0
Z has the Ascii Code number of 90. So we end up referring to Weights(90-65) = Weights(25) , which is the last element in a 1 dimensional array of 26 elements that starts at indicia 0

In order for the function to get correct results in the case of lower case letters, then one way to do it, ( assuming you have the correct Weights() array you want for lower case letters), you would need to change the 65 to 97

Code:

Sub Testit()
Debug.Print Tab(4); "ASCII"; Tab(12); "Weight"
Debug.Print Tab(4); "Code"
 Call Weight("ZAC")
Debug.Print
 Call WeightLowerCase("zac")

Here is an alternative single liner ( almost ## ) type solution to the last post. It was much simpler than I expected, and ends up much shorter than these solutions of mine usually do. (## There was a small snag, not solved yet, which means I have to do it in 2 code lines for now. I may take a look at that later here: https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post16655 )

Solution explanation.
Part 1. Background
This is all to do with
_ “my”** ____arrOut()=Index(ArrIn(), Rws(), Clms()) ______ type solutions, ( https://www.excelforum.com/excel-new...ml#post4571172 )
and also
_ using the Match in a similar way – ( some time ago I obsessed with trying out Application.Match where the first argument is an array, in a similar way to those of those array arguments Rws() and Clms() in Index. I got so obsessed I littered a sub forum with over long posts until they deleted them all and limited the post size to stop me doing it again. With hindsight, not a bad thing to do, as I could not see the wood for the trees back then. I can now, and its not at all difficult to understand, so I really don’t need all that crap anymore. Let me call that for now “my” **
________arrOut() = Match(arrArg1(), arrIn() , 0 ) ___ type solution.
( ** I use the word “my” lightly. – I learnt all this stuff from looking at stuff from Rick Rothstein and snb. ( I am not sure if they “invented it” , or got it from other peoples stuff. if I added anything “new” , it might be some of my detailed explanations, which whilst I don’t know if they are correct, they seem to be a valid theory as they go a long way to explain the results ) )

Here is a quick demo of how
_ my ____arrOut()=Match(arrArg1(), arrIn() , 0 ) ____ works
Ordinarily, or most usually the first argument is just one thing that you are looking for. As far as I know all documentation tells you that the way Match in Excel works is, ( simplified ) :
_... you look in the second argument array of things for the thing in the first argument, and , assuming you find it, return the position along where it is, pseudo like
_____ Match( b , { a, b, c } , 0 ) = 2
In the practice we sometimes, ( not always ) , find that things in Excel will work with array arguments and return a corresponding array of outputs. So taking that last example, pseudo like
_____ Match( {b, a} , { a, b, c } , 0 ) = {2, 1}

So that is a bit of theory out of the way. ( I have done a fuller explanation in a few places of how the Application.Index with Look Up Rows and Columns Arguments as VBA Arrays works in a few places
https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post16455
https://www.excelforum.com/excel-new...ml#post4571172 )

Part 2. Here is my solution examples
Refering to the first long macro below:

Rem1 is just making some stuff I need for the demo. I use the string example of “ZAC” as per the original OP example http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=38460 . For reasons given in the next bit, I make an array of the 26 Ascii Code numbers for the capital alphabet characters, A, B. C ….Z , Asskeys() = { 65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81 ,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90 }
My array of the weights values, Weights(), for the characters will be the same size as Asskeys() and will have the corresponding weight value for each of the 26 characters in the same order.
Once again it will be clear why later. For now, the point is to have arrays of the same size with related things in the same order

Code:

 ' '   Ascii Code       65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90
' '                     A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
' Let Weights() = Array(1, 5, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2)

Rem 2
I found a way on the internet to turn my string example into an array of single characters, which is what I will be feeding into my Match as first argument. ( Unfortunately it does not return in each element the character, but rather its Ascii Code. But for my purposes that’s just as good.

Rem 3 Match
This is the Match bit, and it tells me the position along where I find the three Ascii Code numbers of “ZAC” in the Ascii Code array, Asskeys()
We get from match here, a 3 element array, MtchRes(), of the position along, of the characters in “ZAC” in the array Asskeys(). We have organised that the array of weights is organised in the same order, so this will also be the position along of the corresponding weight number in the array of weights, Weights().
In the example we should have then an array like {26, 1, 3} _ ( if you have followed the logic so far, you can see this is like a pseudo Alphabet position of the characters, Z , A , and C __ (But don’t get confused with Ascii codes, which is pseudo like the official position of characters, and defined by some world standard, that Excel knows about. As example, capital A is listed as Ascii code 65, lowercase a is listed as 97 )

Rem 4 Index
The 3 element array of the position along, of the characters in “ZAC” in the array Asskeys(), is effectively the Clms() array we need for a __arrOut()=Index(ArrIn(), Rws(), Clms())__type solution, where the look up array, arrIn() , will be the weights array, Weights()
The returned array from Index , arrOut(), will be an array, of 3 numbers, which are the weight numbers for the example string “ZAC”.

Rem 5
Finally we simply sum the elements of the found weight values, as per the original OP request.

Code:

Sub AssKeys()
Rem 1 Make the arrays and other hard coded things for the demo
Dim AssKeys(1 To 26) As Long
Dim Eye As Long
    For Eye = 65 To 90 Step 1
     Let AssKeys(Eye - 64) = Eye
    Next Eye
' OR
'  Dim AssKeys() As Variant: Let AssKey() = Array(65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90)
Dim Weights() As Variant:
 '   Ascii Code       65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90
 '                     A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
 Let Weights() = Array(1, 5, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2)
Dim ZAC As String
 Let ZAC = "ZAC" ' This is a demo example text string
Rem 2 String to array
Dim arrZAC() As Byte: Let arrZAC() = StrConv(ZAC, vbFromUnicode) ' https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13195583/split-string-into-array-of-characters
Rem 3 Match
Dim MtchRes() As Variant
 Let MtchRes() = Application.Match(arrZAC(), AssKeys(), 0)
Rem 4 Index
Dim arrOut() As Variant
 Let arrOut() = Application.Index(Weights(), 1, MtchRes())
Rem 5
Dim Some As Long: Let Some = Application.Sum(arrOut())
End Sub

Worksheet: SimpleUniqueVLookUp

Enter this In D2 via CSE, then drag it down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$8,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($D$1:D1,$A$2:$A$8),0)),"")

_Row\^Col	D

Alternative formula for earlier versions of Excel:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$8,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($D$1:D1,$A$2:$A$8),0))),"",INDEX($A$2:$A$8,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($D$1:D1,$A$2:$A$8),0)))

3	=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$8,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($D$1:D2,$A$2:$A$8),0))),"",INDEX($A$2:$A$8,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($D$1:D2,$A$2:$A$8),0)))

What is the difference between the three things……

I can’t answer most of your question here, unfortunately, because
_ I have no experience with Textboxes
_ I am not too familiar with the .Text property.

I can only tell you the small part that I know about: - what I know about is
Range__
Range__.Value
Range__.Value2

Range__ object
Range__ is an object with an extremely large number of properties, methods and various things.
Range__ is all to do with how Excel organises and uses cells. Understanding the Range__ object is probably one of the most important things to know about in Excel and VBA, especially if you are interested in spreadsheet things.
But many times, we are only interested in the value that is in a cell. Because most people are often only interested in the value in a cell, Microsoft have made .Value the default of what you get if you just use Range__. So most of the time if you choose to write just Range__ , then in fact , Excel will not see that, instead it will see and use Range__.Value
It is just personal choice if you choose to use Range__.Value or Range__. Usually there are no problems if you just use Range__ , but I have seen occasions when this caused problems as there may be occasions when Excel tries to refer to the Range__ object instead of the value.
So personally I prefer to always include the .Value if I am interested in a value. I will only leave out the .Value if I am doing something that wants me to reference the Range__ object. Just personal choice.

So, in your example, when you used Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B10") , Excel did not see and use that.
Instead, Excel saw and used this: Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B10").Value

Originally Posted by Amelynn

So in your examples you could probably just use nothing , but I personally would recommend that you include .Value ( or .Value2 )
But that is just my personally recommendation

.Value or .Value2
.Value is almost the simplest cell value. But not quite. If you are interested in dates or currency, then .Value will show you the date or currency in a date or currency format.
.Value2 is the most simplest cell value as Excel has it held before any formatting is done.

Personally I will use .Value2 most of the time, because it may work a little faster or may be less likely to problems caused by awkward cell formatting issues. I think theoretically it is also a bit more efficient to use .Value2

So….

It is not wrong to put nothing. But it is bad practice, as it may cause problems in other situations in Excel VBA
(More than half of people put nothing, and they will often get a problem later that they don’t understand )

Originally Posted by Amelynn

The way that you are using "Niebla" in VBA coding is perfectly alright, because: Most of the time in VBA coding, if VBA sees something enclosed in quotes, _ "__" _ , like
"xyz"
, then VBA will take the value of _ xyz _ to be a string.
Even if , in your coding, you did this
"3"
, the VBA would not take the FONT=Courier New]"3"[/FONT] as a number. It would see it as a string, just as it would see this as a string
"I have 3 Apples"

Note that VBA is very user friendly with numbers and strings. For example if you pass it a string like "3" in a function wanting a number, the VBA will not error, but instead it will take a number 3 instead.

In many other computer languages you must be much more careful in defining precisely variable types.

That is as close as I can come to answering your question.
But I do know about Range__ , Range__.Value , Range__.Value2 quite well.
So I am happy to give you any further clarity on those things. Those things are all to do with range referencing in Excel and VBA, which is a very important thing to know about.

Some notes in support of this forum main post
https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post16712

An erroring formula: https://i.postimg.cc/nzbWtGTQ/An-erroring-formula.jpg

Highlight a section, such as the Match section https://i.postimg.cc/5NxZ0pJB/Highlight-match.jpg

Hit key F9 https://i.postimg.cc/7P1FwdFP/Hit-ke...esult-is-5.jpg

This reveals that we have 5 , or in total , 5 + 1 = 6

So in the VLookUp we are looking at column 6 in the range given by bk
The names manager tells us which range we want:
Second formula section is the range bk https://i.postimg.cc/JhBFg23L/range-bk.jpg

Similarly we can investigate the first section in the erroring formula
Highlight first formula section https://i.postimg.cc/902syY7j/Highli...la-section.jpg

Hit key F9 https://i.postimg.cc/wvLStG3V/Hiut-F...st-section.jpg

This reveals that the Look up value, the value that you are looking for is "DMG1"

Further investigations by trial and error , reveals that some character combinations in cell A2 cause the error. But I do not know why yet ?

Examples:
Not work:
https://i.postimg.cc/YqbTmg2J/d-not-work.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/d0zbVYQ3/d-MG1-not-work.jpg
Works
https://i.postimg.cc/3xq6tTv1/MG1-works.jpg

In fact, it seems that some character combinations are not allowed as the Look Up value generally , for example try another cell, and I can find a character combination that does not work
https://i.postimg.cc/SK204shH/Not-wo...ters-in-A6.jpg

I am puzzled.

In fact if you look in detail at the results you are getting when it does appear to work, then they are not alwaysthe correct values.
https://postimg.cc/kBnt3Zzg

Very strange. I am even more puzzled
?????

VLOOKUP require all arguments, even if last argument is omitted there should be defined place for it after last comma

( I thought I had checked that, but missed something somewhere, I don’t know why I missed that, maybe I think also I need to learn how to use VLoopUp properly! )

Test

I see what you are saying its like “the 14th thing along” , like in if it was in a 1 dimensional or 1 “row” array,
This sort of thing
_number along{1 _ , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 _ , 9 _ , 10_, 11_, 12_,13 , 14 __ , 15 , _16}
____INDEX({"Part",13,25,37,48,73,101,145,201,289,600,750,1009, "DMG1",4.1,2.85},1,14) = "DMG1"
Or similarly
__number along_____{1 _ , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 _ , 9 _ , 10_, 11_, 12_,13 , 14 __ , 15 , _16}
__=MATCH("DMG1",{"Part",13,25,37,48,73,101,145,201,289,600,750,1009, "DMG1",4.1,2.85},0) = 14
(Note I must change the row separating ; before the to a column separating , **

I also get indexes mixed up and also I mix up item numbers and indexes. Sometimes they are the same, sometimes they have a similar meaning

( ** just passing interest, if in a range we talk about the “number along” on any range, then we are talking about the range item number, and this “number along” goes like all columns in a row, then next row and so on.
So example in both these ranges, the range item number is 14

_Row\^Col	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N
1	Part	13	25	37	48	73	101	145	201	289	600	750	1009	DMG1

Range("A1:N1").Item(14) = "DMG1"

_Row\^Col	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M
1	Part	13	25	37	48	73	101	145	201	289	600	750	1009
2	DMG1	$ 4.10	$ 2.85	$ 2.85	$ 1.90	$ 1.55	$ 1.35	$ 1.25	$ 0.95	$ 0.85	$ 0.75	$ 0.75	$ 0.65

Range("A1:M2").Item(14) = "DMG1"

_Row\^Col	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W
4	Part	13	25	37	48	73	101	145	201
5	289	600	750	1009	DMG1	$ 4.10	$ 2.85	$ 2.85	$ 1.90

Range("O4:W5").Item(14) = "DMG1"

Here is a very interesting article by a very clever person on all that https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...column-looping )

In worksheet String to search is the following:

_____ Workbook: VBA delete everything between two newlines where the string appears.xlsx ( Using Excel 2007 32 bit )

_Row\^Col	A

Worksheet: String to search

Here is the given input examples ( The OP gave 4 cells , but for demo here I will put them all in the same code box and separate the 4 examples with a line. Black is the before/input , and Blue the after/ wanted output

Code:

in VBA if the given string is found then delete everything between two newlines where the string appears.
"Looking for help in VBA"

if the given string is found in any paragraph/line excel cell then delete everything between two newlines where the string appears. in VBA if the given string is found then delete everything between two newlines where the string appears.

"Looking for help in VBA"
if the given string is found in any excel cell then delete everything between two newlines where the string appears.

OK so it looks quite clear what is needed. The OPs explanation does confirm to this, …. if the given string is found in any excel cell then delete everything between two newlines where the string appears.
… How can I delete sentences with a specific keyword in excel cells in all sheets?
…..but without the example it was much more difficult to understand and may have been interpreted to mean something else..

Putting the explanation of what is wanted a bit clearer, …
There is text in some cells. The text is split into paragraphs or lines, that is to say we see multi-line text, something like

Code:

How are you?

Well I am OK Bro today
Enjoying a wank just now.

What we want to do is: Modify the text in cells in this way: If certain words are found in a paragraph or line, then all the text in that line needs to be deleted. Lets say in that example, Bro was one of the words to search for. In that case, the text should be modified so as to look like this

Code:

How are you?


Enjoying a wank just now.

We remove all the text, Well I am OK Bro today, but it looks like the lines stay there.

We are manipulating text and some form of line separation is involved, so its usually a good idea to look carefully at the actual characters: Almost immediately I think of Splitting and Joining text where the thing to split by or use to join together will be a text line separator, which can vary. Hence important to take a look, so I will, here, later
