If Statement With Wildcard Not Working

Hi, I have entered the below IF statement to make a textbox display a value based on a field.

If the field starts with GB the box should display Made in GB, if CZ Made in CZ, anything else Error.

However it doesn't work and I can't find any proper information on what wildcard to use for numbers only.

If I enter a whole serial number it works fine.

 

 

If Format.NamedSubStrings("Serial").Value ="GB********" Then


    value = "Made in GB"


Elseif Format.NamedSubStrings("Serial").Value ="CZ********" Then


    value = "Made in CZ"


Else


    value = "Serial error"


End If 
 

Any ideas? Thank you for reading.

  VB Script doesn't have wildcard in IF statement, unlike VBA.

  for "begins with" condition, just take 2 characters like

  If Left(Format.NamedSubStrings("Serial").Value,2) = "GB" Then...
  

  Besides you can use Regular Expression object for wildcard and more flexible matching - see below.
