Spliting strings - Pretzels - Jul 4, 2014

Hey,

I have a richtextbox with the following content:

Code 
abcd*efgh*ijkl*mnop

1234*5678*9101*1121

I have the following code to extract each line from the richtextbox:

Code 
For Each file In b.Text

        Dim item As String = file.ToString

        Dim first As String() = item.split("*")(0)

        Msgbox(first)

 Next

But that code, for some reason, returns only the first letter, so or a, or 1.

Why?

How else could I do this?

Code 
For Each file In b.Text

      Dim item As String = file.ToString

      Dim first As String() = item.split("*")

      Dim fValue as String =  first(0) 

      Dim sValue as String =  first(1) 

      Msgbox(fValue)

 Next

This will work and may be more useful in the future.

Your problem is on this line:

PHP Code 


<?php 
Dim first As String() = item.split("*")(0) 

Remove the () in the Dim first as string()

I could fix the code for you, but it's better to learn for yourself.

Code 
For each Item as string in textbox.lines

Dim Value as string = split(item,"*")(0)

Next

Should work fine
