Like Operator

[ksilenio]

Hi everyone .
I have store a string in a variable (var1="AA-Example-1")
In an "if" statement i want to take only the "AA" e.g


If "AA" Like "#.. (var1) ???? then
....
end if

How can i write this statement with the LIKE oparator?

PS I want the LIKE search in var1 for the "AA"

Thank you for your time
Kostas

InStr() might be easier and would be faster, but here's Like examples



Sub test()
Dim var1 As String
var1 = "AA-Example-1"
If var1 Like "AA*" Then MsgBox "Yes"
var1 = "ZZZ-AA-Example-1"
If var1 Like "*AA*" Then MsgBox "Yes"
End Sub
