Using And with two InStr calls - CMR - 04-25-2025

Anybody know how to make this work? Maybe a 'Not InStr Xor InStr'? My problem is InStr doesn't return true or false, but the position of the substring inside the string. Maybe I need to rethink the whole structure. I want to be able to default to -sh (run CreateSheet) if no option is given.

Code: (Select All)



If InStr(LCase$(opt$), "-sh") And InStr(LCase$(opt$), "-st") Then

    Print "-sh -st"

    CreateSheet sheet&, f_names$(), n_count&, bpp&

    CreateStrip strip&, f_names$(), n_count&, bpp&

ElseIf InStr(LCase$(opt$), "-st") Then

    Print "-st"

    CreateStrip strip&, f_names$(), n_count&, bpp&

Else

    CreateSheet sheet&, f_names$(), n_count&, bpp&

End If

Thank you both. I knew the answer was probably simple.
