static member StrDup : int * char -> string
Public Function StrDup (Number As Integer, Character As Char) As String

Parameters

Number
Int32

Required. Integer expression. The length to the string to be returned.

Character
Char

Examples

This example uses the StrDup function to return a string of duplicated characters.

Dim aString As String = "Wow! What a string!"
Dim aObject As New Object
Dim testString As String
aObject = "This is a String contained within an Object"
' Returns "PPPPP"
testString = StrDup(5, "P")
' Returns "WWWWWWWWWW"
testString = StrDup(10, aString)
' Returns "TTTTTT"
testString = CStr(StrDup(6, aObject))

Remarks

This function returns a String made up of repeated characters. The character that makes up the string is the first character in the Character argument, and it is duplicated Number number of times.
