strings

[Chris]

I'm doing a hangman game. I'm trying to figure out how to show dashmarks when a word is to be solve. There would be unlimited number of letters. Any hints?

I would keep 2 string variables : 1 for the real word, one for the dashed
(both the same length)

as an example:
string1 = "example"
string2 = "-------"

when the game advance and the player enters 'e' you modify your string2 to
"e-----e" and so on.

I hope it helps

Dim strDash As String = Chr(151).ToString()

151 is the character code for a dash.
