what is Chr$(0)?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
This was from a recent post,
InStr(strFileName, Chr$(0))

I'd think from the context that it was looking for a backslash, since it was
in reference to the file dialog box.
The help files mention the Chr function and ChrB and ChrW in that context
but not chr$.
The listing of character codes in the help files say Chr(0) is not supported
on windows platform.
So what is going on here anyway???
Thanks
Mark

Chr(0) is the NULL character. It is used as a delimiter in strings by
API functions.

The functions that end in $ (chr$(), trim$(), mid$(),etc...) return a string
value as opposed to a variant. At least that's what I've been told.
