I have a string that is read from a cell in Excel, which is something like this:
""Horace Lai" & vbNewLine & Date"
or this
"Chr(149) & "level 1" & vbNewLine & Chr(9) & Chr(149) & "level 2" & Chr(149) & "level 1" & vbNewLine & Chr(9) & Chr(149) & "level 2" & vbNewLine & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & Chr(149) & "level 3""
I would like to be able to evaluate these strings so that ""Horace Lai" & vbNewLine & Date"
becomes:
Horace Lai
2014-06-20
So far I have tried ScriptControl without success. It doesn't seem to like it when I have double quotes for the string.
Sub testing()
Dim sc As ScriptControl
Set sc = CreateObject("ScriptControl")
sc.Language = "JScript"
MsgBox sc.Eval(""Horace Lai" & vbNewLine & Date")
End Sub
The MsgBox line becomes red and I cannot run it.
Any ideas? Thanks -Horace
