VBA Declaring Variables Declaring Fixed-Length Strings
Example
In VBA, Strings can be declared with a specific length; they are automatically padded or truncated to maintain that length as declared.
Public Sub TwoTypesOfStrings()
Dim FixedLengthString As String * 5 ' declares a string of 5 characters
Dim NormalString As String
Debug.Print FixedLengthString ' Prints " "
Debug.Print NormalString ' Prints ""
FixedLengthString = "123" ' FixedLengthString now equals "123 "
NormalString = "456" ' NormalString now equals "456"
FixedLengthString = "123456" ' FixedLengthString now equals "12345"
NormalString = "456789" ' NormalString now equals "456789"
End Sub
