Hi, My IT teacher at school has set us a project the last task of which is being able to make an english --> pig latin converter

I have absolutely no idea where to start and have been searching for an example of the coding for one

does anyone know an example of this developed in VB?

-also i use VB6

thanks heaps , any help is much appreciated =]

[WingedPanther]

I would start by familiarizing myself with the VB6 string functions. I found this site which seems to do a decent job: VB6 String Functions

[Kisa]

sorry for the late reply ^^
thank you both really much

I'll definately research string fictions more and I'll probably code it in liberty basic first and then adapt it to vb

Thanks alot for the help

I actually have no idea how this pig latin thing works - I was the kid who couldnt figure it out and nobody would show how lol

I just found a pig latin thing online and from what I can tell you switch the first letter to the end and add "ay" at the end of it as well correct?

[Kisa]

yes
that would be wonderful!

our task is like that

enter a word
and if it starts with a vowel add 'ay' to the end

if it doesnt then move the first letter to the end and add 'way' =D

it would be very helpful if you could show me how to do that =3

[WingedPanther]

Vowels: a, e, i, o, u. You'll need to use the various string functions (left, right, copy, whatever)

$5 paypal will get it done.


If not basically what wp said above. Very useful stuff there.

I can do it for free if you want :)

[BlaineSch]

Hint to Vswe: You don't get anywhere doing things for free. If its easy offer a low price, never free ;)

[Vswe]

I only want to help him, I know by my own experience that Free is much better than 0.0001$ just because you don't need to do the transaction. It have happened many times for me that I don't buy some cheap stuff just because I don't mind to do the transaction.
