    Sir Narios ... Positioning of procedure separation in the Visual Basic Development Environment

    Positioning of procedure separation Line in the Visual Basic Development Environment

    These are some notes based on a discussion here.. http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=31756
    Lisa Green had noticed something strange in how VBA divides procedures.....

    It appears that in VBA, that is to say in the Visual Basic Development Environment Window , ( that window seen by hitting Alt+F11 from a spreadsheet ) , the convention has been set to separate procedures by a line extending across the code pane Window.
    We see these as appearing as a series of underscores, __________________ , extending across the Visual Basic Development Environment Window
    Code:
    End Sub  '  The dividing line appears to us as a line of underscores ____ 
    


    Usually, if we did write exactly this ' The dividing line appears to us as a line of underscores ____ ' , on that terminating line above , then we would not see those underscores, ____ , as they get hidden in the terminating line:

    Attachment 2142
    The above screenshot shows the simplest case of routines with no “space” in between. In that simple case, the position of the dividing line is as expected in between the procedures. The situation is a bit more complicated if there is a separation in between procedures….

    Effect of blank lines ( or ‘commented lines ) In Between
    Between procedures we may add blank lines or ' comment lines. If this is done, it appears that the convention has been set to place the line somewhere between the procedures in this blank/ ‘comment range, and the lines above the line “belong” to the procedure above, that is to say the last or preeceding procedure, and the lines below the line “belong” to the procedure below, that is to say the next procedure, http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtop...=31756#p245845

    The documentation is not 100% clear on how the position of the dividing is determined , that is to say how the row on which it physically appears as a long series of underscores, __________________ is determined
    There is no obvious logic to the way in which the dividing line can be positioned, that is to say , how to determine on which the dividing line appears as a long series of underscores, __________________

    Some initial experiments suggest that is influenced by positioning of blank lines and any single underscores _

    Line continuation / Break points : single underscores _
    We note in passing , that single underscores are used in coding generally to allow us to divide a single line of code into several lines for ease of reading. For example:
    Code:

      Dim LastRow As Long
      LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
      
    ' Without line breaks
      Range("A1:A" & LastRow) = Evaluate(Replace(Replace("IF(ISNUMBER(0+SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2:A#,"" "",""""),"","","""")),IF(LEFT(A1:A@,4)=""2018"",TRIM(A1:A@&"" ""&A2:A#),""""),IF(LEFT(A1:A@,4)=""2018"",A1:A@,""""))", "#", LastRow + 1), "@", LastRow))
      
    ' With Line breaks
      LastRow = _
         Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
      Range("A1:A" & LastRow) = Evaluate(Replace(Replace(  _
                                "IF(ISNUMBER(0+SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(" &  _

                                "IF(LEFT(A1:A@,4)=""2018"",A1:A@,""""))", "#", _
                                LastRow + 1), "@", LastRow))
    '  This is _

    End Sub
    '  This is _
         acceptable in _
    or out of a  procedure__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Further, we note that the line continuation , sometimes called a line break, _ , also applies to comments whether in a procedure or between procedures:
    ' This is _
    acceptable in _
    or out of a procedure

    Determining position of horizontal line dividing procedures when blank or comment lines are between procedures
    Sir Narios
    .

    The documentation is not 100% clear on how the position of the dividing is determined , that is to say how the row on which it physically appears as a long series of underscores, __________________ is determined
    There is no obvious logic to the way in which the dividing line can be positioned, that is to say , how to determine on which the dividing line appears as a long series of underscores, __________________
    Some initial experiments suggest that is influenced by positioning of blank lines and any single underscores _
    There appear to be 3 scenarios to consider in order to place the line somewhere in between, ( 4 if you consider the simple case of all lines containing comments or all lines being blank )

    Scenario 0
    ' _(0)
    If all lines are blank, or all lines are full with comments ( which exclude line continuations )
    No single underscores in any line
    The break is immediately after the Last/ upper procedure. (This is the same as the case for no separation between routines )

    There are no blank lines after the first line looking down after the last line continuation looking down, or after the first line looking down after the last line continuation looking down all lines contain comments . In this case, the break is at the line after the line on which the line continuation is on.

    "What’s in a String"- VBA break down Loop through character contents of a string

    Rotines for this excelfox Thread
    http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...0943#post10943

    This is part 1 of the coding. The second part is in the next post. The second part must be copied directly under this part in the same code module

    Code:
    Option Explicit           '
    Option Compare Binary     '     https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-compare-statement
    
    Sub TestWtchaGot()

VBA is sent to it when it passes it. In a Routine it may be given a particular “Value”, or (“Values” for Objects). There instructions say then how to do that and handle(store) that(those). At Dim the created Paper is like a Blue Print that has some empty spaces not yet filled in. A String is a bit tricky. The Blue Print code line Paper in the Pigeon Hole will allow to note the string Length and an Initial start memory Location. This Location well have to change frequently as strings of different length are assigned. Instructions will tell how to do this. Theoretically a special value vbNullString is set to aid in quick checks.. But..http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/361246-vbnullstring-2.html#post44116

    To reverse this to descending so that things “get smaller as you go down the rows”, you simply need to change
    the > to a < in the array routine
    and
    the Order1:=xlAscending to Order1:=xlDescending in the VBA Range.Sort routine

    Worksheet: Sorting


    I intended developing the solution into a function, so as a start to this, the routine will be modified to take an Optional argument of 0 or 1 , with the default of 0 being the case for an Ascending list. I am not being particularly efficient with the coding, and will duplicate sections.

    A full routine is posted in the next post

    Simple Array Bubble Sort Example working similar to VBA Range.Sort with one Key1:=

    A further modification is done to the previous routines so that values that can be seen as numbers are compared as numbers in sorting. This is done so that, for example, a number like 46 would be seen as greater than 7. In previous routines, these would be compared as text values of "46" and "7". In a text comparison, the sort is done initially on the first character so that "4" would be seen as less that "7". ( The second character, "6", in this exampple is not used. A second character would only be used to sort if we had two values such as "46" and "49". In such an example VBA would place "49" above "46" for a text comparison

    We find that the VBA Range.Sort Method sees text as text and numbers typically as numbers , and the final purpose of the routines we are developing in the associated main forum Thread is to do somethhing similar to the VBA Range.Sort Method

    Because we are using ByRef , the previous testieing Calling routine can also use the original supplied array, arrTS() , after the main procedure Call , provided that the array taken in at the signature line is that sorted, as that will in effect be the same array and it will reflect the changes done to it.

    Pseudo code ByRef ‘ ( Usually default option )
    varMyArray = x
    _ Call ReferToIt(varMyArray)
    Sub ReferToIt(ByRef arr)
    _ arr=y This is similar to saying varMyArray = y
    End

    varMyArray is now = y ‘ because effectively varMyArray was in arr

    Code:
