可以String.Format()在VB6中实现，至少它的足够接近的版本，在良好的醇编程” VB6的时候可能是有用的？
对VB6字符串处理性能再好的资源： http://www.aivosto.com/vbtips/stringopt2.html
与此相关的不，我也来了一对夫妇的字符串比较功能，发现他们在这里CodeReview.SE
这些功能对于改善VB6可读性相当有用的，特别是如果你最近一直宠坏.NET代码，突然被要求潜入VB6的代码库...享受！

注意ParamArray方法签名（感谢@wqw）：这样做备件的多个可选参数的使用（和使用漏洞与能够分配value2不分配value1的调用语句命名参数时）。 因为它是一个ParamArray ，个体值是Variant ，这意味着每一个参数可以是不同类型的，VB是做幕后的字符串转换。
这时可把功能消耗是这样的：
?StringFormat("(C) Currency: . . . . . . . . {0:C}\n" & _
"(D) Decimal:. . . . . . . . . {0:D}\n" & _
"(E) Scientific: . . . . . . . {1:E}\n" & _
"(F) Fixed point:. . . . . . . {1:F}\n" & _
"(N) Number: . . . . . . . . . {0:N}\n" & _
"(P) Percent:. . . . . . . . . {1:P}\n" & _
"(R) Round-trip: . . . . . . . {1:R}\n" & _
"(X) Hexadecimal:. . . . . . . {0:X}\n",-123, -123.45)
输出：
(C) Currency: . . . . . . . . -123.00$
(D) Decimal:. . . . . . . . . -123
(E) Scientific: . . . . . . . -1.23450E2
(F) Fixed point:. . . . . . . -123
(N) Number: . . . . . . . . . -123
(P) Percent:. . . . . . . . . -12,345%
(R) Round-trip: . . . . . . . -123.45
(X) Hexadecimal:. . . . . . . &HFFFFFF85
而且也很喜欢这一点：
?StringFormat("(c) Custom format: . . . . . .{0:cYYYY-MM-DD (MMMM)}\n" & _
"(d) Short date: . . . . . . . {0:d}\n" & _
"(D) Long date:. . . . . . . . {0:D}\n" & _
"(T) Long time:. . . . . . . . {0:T}\n" & _
"(f) Full date/short time: . . {0:f}\n" & _
"(F) Full date/long time:. . . {0:F}\n" & _
"(s) Sortable: . . . . . . . . {0:s}\n", Now())
输出：
(c) Custom format: . . . . . .2013-01-26 (January)
(d) Short date: . . . . . . . 1/26/2013
(D) Long date:. . . . . . . . Saturday, January 26, 2013
(T) Long time:. . . . . . . . 8:28:11 PM
(f) Full date/short time: . . 1/26/2013 8:28:11 PM
(F) Full date/long time:. . . Saturday, January 26, 2013 8:28:11 PM
(s) Sortable: . . . . . . . . 2013-01-26T20:28:11
还可以指定对准（/填充），并使用转义序列：
?StringFormat ("\q{0}, {1}!\x20\n'{2,10:C2}'\n'{2,-10:C2}'", "hello", "world", 100)
"hello, world!"
' 100.00$'
'100.00$ '
看着从样品http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/b1csw23d(v=vs.80).aspx ，只有少数格式说明没有实现，主要是日期/时间说明符...但我会认为“C”自定义日期/时间格式说明符使得它。
该函数使用一个简单的实施String.Contains()
Public Function StringContains(string_source As String, find_text As String, _
Optional ByVal caseSensitive As Boolean = True) As Boolean
StringContains = StringContainsAny(string_source, caseSensitive, find_text)
End Function
编辑：该代码可以正确处理“\\”逃脱，如在评论中提到。 此外，虽然StringContains肯定是实用的，并给出了更舒适的阅读比InStr()调用，下面StringContainsAny功能，甚至更好：
Public Function StringContainsAny(string_source As String, ByVal caseSensitive As Boolean, _
ParamArray find_values()) As Boolean
Dim i As Integer, found As Boolean
If caseSensitive Then
For i = LBound(find_values) To UBound(find_values)
found = (InStr(1, string_source, _
find_values(i), vbBinaryCompare) <> 0)
If found Then Exit For
Next
Else
For i = LBound(find_values) To UBound(find_values)
StringContainsAny = (InStr(1, LCase$(string_source), _
LCase$(find_values(i)), vbBinaryCompare) <> 0)
If found Then Exit For
Next
End If
StringContainsAny = found
End Function
考虑以下：
foo = Instr(1, source, "value1") > 0 Or Instr(1, source, "value2") > 0 _
Or Instr(1, source, "value3") > 0 Or Instr(1, source, "value4") > 0 _
Or Instr(1, source, "value5") > 0 Or Instr(1, source, "value6") > 0 _
之前VB可确定是否foo为TRUE或FALSE ，每一个InStr()调用。 然而，随着StringContainsAny()满足条件时与被发现的第一个值，这使得它更快的声明。
编辑：上编辑几乎全军覆没转义序列; 恢复他们，用小班“EscapeSequence”暴露两个属性和一个工厂方法 - 这样做可以保持for-each循环和处理所有简单的逃脱，而无需复制大量代码。
此代码还使用了StringStartsWith功能，这样实现的：
Public Function StringStartsWith(ByVal find_text As String, ByVal string_source As String, Optional ByVal caseSensitive As Boolean = True) As Boolean
If caseSensitive Then
StringStartsWith = (Left$(string_source, LenB(find_text) / 2) = find_text)
Else
StringStartsWith = (Left$(LCase(string_source), LenB(find_text) / 2) = LCase$(find_text))
End If
End Function
