excel vba - Partial string searches with VBA -


i trying write macro searching , displaying rows of data based on search term partial string (typically 4 characters of potentially 16), complete beginner @ far have following (with gord):

    private sub worksheet_change(byval target range) dim cell range application.screenupdating = false activesheet     .rows.hidden = false    'unhides rows end each cell in activesheet.range("c3:c1000")     if cell.value <> activesheet.range("a1").value _             cell.entirerow.hidden = true     if activesheet.range("a1").value = ""         cell.entirerow.hidden = false     end if next range("a1").select  'ready next value input application.screenupdating = true end sub

how can define search term partial match not exact match , loose case senstivity?

the data string has no special characters 0-9 , a-z presumably function suit task. if how macro change? apologies total newbie @ this. tried editing: if activesheet.range("a1").value = "" then
to: if activesheet.range("a1").value "*" no result

first try convert both strings (needle , haystack) lcase() , use like operator. in example below

if lcase(haystack) "*" & lcase(needle) & "*" 'do

which works little regexp. string haystack if contains needle. * means (or nothing). clear?

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
