In this lesson, we explore *String Manipulation,* one of the most essential skills for VBA automation. Whether you are parsing file paths, cleaning user input, or generating reports, these functions allow you to slice, dice, and transform text with precision.
*Key Takeaways:*
- *Space Cleaning:* Use *Trim* to remove all leading and trailing spaces.
- *Casing Control:* Use *UCase* for UPPERCASE and *LCase* for lowercase.
- *Extraction (Start/End): Left* grabs characters from the start; *Right* from the end.
- *Middle Extraction: Mid* pulls a substring starting from a specific position.
- *Finding Text: InStr* finds a string's position; returns 0 if not found.
- *Reverse Search: InStrRev* searches from the end (perfect for file extensions).
- *Search and Replace: Replace* swaps specific characters or words within a string.
- *Arrays to Strings: Split* breaks text into an array; *Join* puts it back.
