Question about the Split Function in Visual Basic?

quit lurking and write something to help her for heaven’s sake! the girl is desperate and the clock is ticking

I don’t think you want to assign each array element to a different variable, but if you do, it would be something like:

Dim fullname As String = “P n L”
Dim nameArray As String = Split(fullname)
Dim firstName As String = nameArray[0]
Dim middleName As String = nameArray[1]
Dim lastName As String = nameArray[2]

I don’t know VB, so don’t trust my syntax. My answer is based on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6×627e5f(VS.80).aspx.

@jason – YES. That’s exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!!!

PS – your link doesn’t work, but that’s okay

Microsoft didn’t make a friendly URL… it’s currently the first result for vb split function.

see, i did read that page. but somehow i didn’t get the “0” “1” “2” thing out of it. And I also didn’t realize I had to Dim namearray As Array (if you Dim it As String, it doesn’t work)

Whoops, yeah, looks like my second line should have been:
Dim nameArray() as String = Split(fullname)
