Put quotes around selected text

Question

Hello, I am brand new (2 days) to VB 2005 and have a question.

 

I would like to be able to select text in a Rich Text or standard Text box, and then press a button (use a shortcut, use a pull-down menu, etc) and put quotes around it.

 

For example I would like:

This is a string

to become

"This is a string"

 

Ideally I would like to do this in as few lines as possible.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

RichTextBox1.SelectedText = """" & RichTextBox1.SelectedText & """"

 

Answer 2

PERFECT!!!! Exactly what I was looking for.

 

Thank you.

 

 

One more question.  Is there anyway to have separate quotes for different selection sets?  For example I have info on lines one and three, but I want them to both have full quote marks around them, is there a way to do that?

Example

This:

Line 1

 

Line 3

 

should become this:

"Line 1"

 

"Line 3"
