Topic: remove Indention tap stop position from mtext

[Humbertogo]

Is there a way to remove Indention tap stop position from mtext, the indention position is not always the same.

Using vba

for example:
 \pi-0.875,l0.875;1.HALLO TEST
Need to remove \pi-0.875,l0.875;  from the Mtext the indention position is not always the same.

Hmm - not sure but it sounds like you want something like this?

Code: [Select]

Function FndText(strString As String)
  On Error GoTo Err_Control

  Dim Lng As Integer
  ' Searches string for ";" and returns everything to the Right
  ' If no ";" found returns original string
 
  Lng = InStr(strString, ";")
    If Lng > 0 Then
     
      FndText = Right(strString, (Len(strString) - Lng))
    Else
      FndText = strString
    End If

Exit_Here:
  Exit Function
Err_Control:
  Select Case Err.number
  'Add your Case selections here
    Case Else
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Err.Clear
    Resume Exit_Here
  End Select
End Function

sample use:

Code: [Select]

FndText "\pi-0.875,l0.875;1.HALLO TEST"

returns:
1.HALLO TEST

What version Acad Humbertogo?
On acad 2006 I get
\pi-0.75,l0.75,t0.75;1. vhkas\P2.   oiibdf\P3.  qwe
I'm thinking the | and the t do some magic to set the tab spacing.
You don't seem to have that part.
I know on 2000 with a funky text like architxt I could never get it nice
but 2006 is always good.
