Hello,

I have a negative string number like this “458.10-”
I want to move - negative sign to the front of the number to become like this “-458.10”

One way i found is that. I removed the “-” from string and assign another variable like so

newDouble = cdbl(458.10)*-1

then I will have - sign on the front of the number but I want to know the more effective way to do it.

how do I do that? I tried using regex but it doesn’t work. probably doing it wrong.

Thanks

@whitestar This Could be another way but it will be in a String format :
str.Replace(“-”,“”).Insert(0,“-”)
