Compare between excel and word

Question

I have problems with compare fields between excel and word. Normally the same strings but not in the same format.

1st Example:

 string variable1 : Title_of_book
 string variable2 : <<Title_of_book_>>

i would like to have compare of that as true because variable1 IS IN variable2. How to do that?

other example:

string variable1 : Date_of_creation_document_2012
string variablw2 : «Date_of_creation_document_20»

here 12 was cutted somehow in Word but almost whole text is same and this is for sure that field associated so also should be marked as true in compare.

I tried by but its not working as assumed:

If InStr(variable1, variablw2) > 0 Then

Answer 1

INSTR function arguments sorting is as follows:

INSTR(Start,Within,What,SearchType)

You must change your line to this ( Change Strings Order ) :

InStr(1, variablw2 , variable1 , vbTextCompare)

Good Luck
