eally been struggling with this one, and i cant seem to find a simple method of doing it...surely there must be one? I have a list of values that i am loading into a variable. I am trying to split that variable by the whitespace that separates each value...the only thing is the whitespace varies in size. eg.
View 3 RepliesI just can't seem to wrap my head around this.I wan to split a string up to a certain amount of characters.Eg if the string is "Hello"I want it to split up to 3 charactersthe result then would be "Hel".I tried various things, googled it, but I can't seem to find anything good.
View 7 RepliesI want to split my string into two values, I can split it at a point such as , or ? but how can I split it so AAAA will be AA and AA or ABC will be A and BC the only thing normal is the last two will be one and the first one or two will be the other. There will always be a string or 3 or 4 letters.
View 3 RepliesIn a rich text box I have a lot of lines of text, all of them have the same pattern:
12345 - Something here - something else here
65474534 - stuff here - random crap here
The number of words/numbers varies from line to line. What I'm trying to do is remove the third part, so the result would be:
12345 - Something here
65474534 - stuff here
I've tried using many variations of Split(), but since the number of words varies it doesn't always split it correctly. Also It doesn't seem to go down the lines of my rich text box, and it just sticks with the first like?
Last year (2010) I came across a FANTASTIC command that allowed me to take a string of variables with a common delimiter and break it all back out into separate variables (possibly an array) with one statement.

As long as the delimiter was a unique specifiable character, this one-statement command could break it out into elements. my memory and point me in the right direction.

I am working on finishing up a mvc 3 vb.net app... I have to parse about 2000 entries in a database and get the string value to the right of a " : " delimiter from one of the columns... Everything to the left I am not worried about but I need the value that is to the right of the colon for that item.. I have more issues involving needing to select string characters to the right or left of a delimiter... But if someone can show me how to achieve the above I can figure out the rest from there...
a example of the string is Jackson Smokehouse Fish Food:John Jacob JinggleHimer Schmit I would want to eliminate the first part of the string or just select the second part and put it in a variable for later processing...
I want to split a string at a delimiter, but I don't want to discard the delimiter; It needs to become its own variable. [code] Is there any way of achieving this short of writing my own method?

I have an string that is returned from an xml file and looks similar to this name1="test 1" name2="test2" name3="test 3".I want to split this into 3 elements of key=value. I can't just split using a space because some of my values may contain spaces, e.g., test 1.So, I'd like to split the string using the " before the space. I've tried many variations but can't figure out the correct syntax to specify that my split characters are a " followed by a space. For instance, I've tried text.split({""" "}) but that returns elements split by " and ignores the space after the ".It shouldn't be this difficult. Can someone please help me with the correct syntax?

MyArr(0) ends up "057359-001" which is correct.
MyArr(1) ends up "Pip" only which is incorrect.

When the user clicks any item in the listbox ie lviproducts it passes that item to a textbox. The problem is that I want everything before the $ sign not to appear so only the amount ie 4.50 etc would appear in the textbox.

What would be the simplest way to find the n-th position of delimiter in a string.For example, say, I have a string variable called FullFilePath that contains the path of a file, like, C:SourceFiles<mthyr><subject><filename>.txt From this, I would like to extract out mthyr, subject, and filename, using the delimiter, "".
I was hoping string.IndexOf would let me find the n-th position of the delimiter "", in which case I can use the result to do a string.Substring. But it looks like IndexOf only finds the first occurence of a certain string, which means I would have to interate this somehow to look for the n-th occurence.
Or is there another method that will help me do this more efficiently.

I'm looking for a way to search a string variable for two words and copy the text in between them into another variable. This needs to be done as many times as the match occurs.
View 3 RepliesI need to split a string at all whitespace, it should ONLY contain the words themselves. How can I do this in vb.net? Tabs, Newlines, etc. must all be split! This has been bugging me for quite a while now, as my syntax highlighter I made completely ignores the first word in each line except for the very first line.

I am trying to split a string into array. I know about split, but it seems to need a separator of some type. Suppose I am going to be working with input like the following. 8561369 and I want to split each character of that string into an array. I tried something like this, but again Split seems to need a separator, I just keep getting the entire string in one entry of my array, not split. Dim values as String 'I am going to be populating this string variable via user input eventually, 'which is why I cannot just add spaces. values = "8561369"

For I As Integer = 0 To tfLines.Length - 1
Dim Words() As String = tfLines(I).Split(",")
Dim sWord() As String = Words(0).Split()

From the code above I can write all the values that I highlighted in red. To get the blue colour value I try to split my line again like this:
Dim tWord() As String = Words(1).Split()
If I use this code it shows me error "Index was outside the bounds of the array." I don't know why I am getting this error.
Here is an example "I want to split this string into 3 separate pieces" The above string contains 50 characters including the spaces.What I want to do is divide the string by 3 =16, but split it at the next space so the words stay whole, so they will read "I want to split this" = 20 "string into 3 separate" = 22
"pieces" = 6 With another string, it may need to be split into 4 = 12 characters each, but split it at the next space, so it would read:
"I want to split" = 15
"this string" = 12
"into 3 separate" = 15
"pieces" = 6
I would need to use the trim method to remove leading spaces and trailing spaces - I can do that but I can't work out how to split a string into 3 approximate equal lengths and keep words whole.
I need to split one variable into 3 variables. For example I have a variable called Data and it contains AAA00000001. I need to have them be split between the "AAA", "0000000", and "1".
