Here’s a cool way to swap strings:

 Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias _	"RtlMoveMemory" (Destination As Any, _	Source As Any, ByVal Length As Long)Sub SwapString(String1 As String, String2 _	As String)	Dim Save As Long	' This code swaps the string descriptors, not 	' the data. StrPtr returns the address of the 	' first character in a string. VarPtr returns 	' the address of a string's descriptor, which 	' is 4 bytes long and contains the address of 	' the first character in the string. StrPtr	' and VarPtr are undocumented VB functions.	Save = StrPtr(String1)	Call CopyMemory(ByVal VarPtr(String1), _		ByVal VarPtr(String2), 4)	Call CopyMemory(ByVal VarPtr(String2), _		Save, 4)End Sub

Even for short strings, this is faster than the traditional method:

 Sub SwapString(String1 As String, String2 _	As String)	Dim Save As String	Save = String1	String1 = String2	String2 = SaveEnd Sub

But as the strings grow in length, the speed difference gets more and more dramatic.Here’s a cool way to swap strings:
