Full Code "Belt and Braces" in Word Find Replace & String Manipulation of initial Text String in Clipboard


This code is simply doing the two ways to remove BB Code code tag pairs from a copied to the clipboard Text from a Word document.
A check is then done Finally to see if the two raped from tags strings are the same.

I would not be surprised if a fail in the strings match just means that the second method, ( my long string manipulation way ) is getting it wrong.. Lol.. but never mind ***
***Edit: - like I just did: It will not work for nested BBCode code tags like

This is OK

That will do for this one, I guess I will have to do a recursion wonk to get a version working with nested BB Code Tag code tags,

Ok. Here we go:
This code _..
Sub BBCodeCodeTagsWegDaMit2AlanHansPaul2()
_.. is mostly just splicing together codes
Sub WegDaMitHansPaulAlan()
and
Sub LongWayOfDoingIt()
along with adding a short section, Rem 10a) to check that the strings are the same. That is to say the
Full Story selection text from the modified ( removed BB Code code tags ), NewWordText for Code Part 1)
is
compared with the final RapedText from the long string manipulation Code part 2)

The code is all one code and broken down into this and the next three posts

At Dim the created Paper is like a Blue Print that has some empty spaces not yet filled in. A String is a 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. Instructiions will tell how to do this.

I will then have an Object referred to as an instance of a Class. At this point I include information on my Pointer Pigeon hole for a distinct distinguishable usage of an Object of the Class. For the case of something such as a Workbook this instancing has already been done, and in addition some values are filled in specific memory locations which are also held as part of the information in the Pigeon Hole Pointer. We will have a different Pointer for each instance. In most excel versions we already have a few instances of Worksheets. Such instances Objects can be further used., - For this a Dim to the class will be necessary, but the New must be omitted at Set. I can assign as many variables that I wish to the same existing instance
