Alphabetical sort of characters within a string.

OK i was almost there with my first anacode$ post just replace one line

Code: (Select All)

_Title "AnaCode$ function" ' b+ 2022-11-17 mod 2024-04-24
test$(0) = "grmaana"
test$(1) = "angiogram"
test$(2) = "naagrma"
test$(3) = "telgram"
test$(4) = "gramana"
test$(5) = "gram"
test$(6) = "nag"
test$(7) = "tag"
test$(8) = "am"
test$(9) = "grip"

For i = 0 To 9
    Print test$(i), AnaCode$(test$(i))
Next

Function AnaCode$ (wrd$) ' anaCode$ converts word to an Anagram pattern
    ' number of A's in first, number of B's in 2nd, number of C's in third
    Dim L(26)
    w$ = UCase$(wrd$)
    For i = 1 To Len(wrd$)
        p = Asc(w$, i) - 64 ' A=1, B=2...
        L(p) = L(p) + 1
    Next
    For i = 1 To 26
        'rtn$ = rtn$ + _Trim$(Str$(L(i)))  ' replace with next line
        rtn$ = rtn$ + String$(L(i), Chr$(i + 64))
    Next
    AnaCode$ = rtn$
End Function

we have practically the same thing.
