up your game? E ciently loop through text data using this simple VBA code to analyze or
manipulate strings.

3 Dim mystring As String
4 mystring = "Excel is good" 'define string

9/27/2020 How to loop through each character within a string

First, we need to de ne the variables. Integer counter, string mystring, and set mystring
a text value. Here we used a static text value here, but you can set dynamic values to cells
by using the RANGE() function. For example,

mystring = Range(“A1”).Value.

Next, we need to use a For-Next Loop to iterate each character in mystring. Counter
variable gets an incremental value for each character, from 1 to the length of the string
variable (i.e. Len(mystring)). On every step of the For-Next Loop, a character in
mystring will be caught by the Mid function. Mid works in same way as the MID formula,
it returns a string part from a source parameter. Counter indicates the number of
characters and 1 is the length of the string to grab.

Here, we used Debug.Print method for demonstration purposes. This argument prints the
strings into an Immediate window.
