Michel,

Your first post had this C# code:

sbRet.Append( expr, pos++, 1 );

Now, if I were to change that to VB, I'd write:

sbRet.Append( expr, pos+1, 1 )

(I don't know if VB supports the ++, which simply means to add 1)

But, you posted this as the VB translation:

loStringBuilder.Append(tcSearchIn, System.Math.Min(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(lnLocation), lnLocation - 1), 1)

If you've simply changed the variables from your original post (and that's why it looks so different), then I would think the following, much simpler code, would work just fine:

loStringBuilder.Append(tcSearchIn, lnLocation + 1, 1)

Will that work for you?

>>Wow ... those two don't even look remotely the same. What's with the System.Math and the System.Threading stuff? No mention of those in your C# version ....
