Splitting strings - halearn - May 26, 2015

this is a very basic tutorial i made because i have seen many people failing at this simple task ...
lets say you got this string "this is / a string" but you only want "this is" , here is what you do

Code 
dim _str as string = "this is / a string"

dim temp = _srt.split("/") ' it will split the string by this character "/"

dim result as string = _srt(0) '0 is the first part , 1 is the second part and so on

another example of splitting by a word this time
the string this time is "abcd[www]efgh" , you need both the abcd part and the efgh on a separate strings

Code 
dim _str as string = "abcd[www]efgh" 

dim temp = _str.split("[www]")

dim first as string = temp(0)

dim second as string = temp(1)

thanks for viewing , hope that i have helped you.

might want to edit it into a working tut at least :)

Your refrenced var is temp not _srt(0)

I wouldn't call this a tutorial to be honest
That's pretty much what is on msdn.
Why not expanding the tutorial a bit and explaining how Regex.Split() works and also talk about joining strings back together etc ;) ?

Lol the tutorial won't even work.
You did "_srt(0)" while it should be "temp(0)". And temp should be a "String()", not a "String".

He's a fucking idiot but 'temp' is a String() there.

Anyway, i guess we may have a moderator next year to cleanup this shit.

The last one AFAIK was TUP, but he 'quit' shortly after.

This, I think he resigned due to exams or something.

No, he seems pretty tolerant; he was just extremely busy so his mod status just came at a bad time.

Yeah i'm surprised he took it, as i know he is a very good coder and properly has a million and one projects on the go all the time.

Learnt from quite a few of his sources tbh. Nice guy always shared his knowledge.

Dim MySplitString as stringt = "1|2|3"

textbox1.text = MySplitString.tostring.split("|")(0)
textbox2.text = MySplitString.tostring.split("|")(1)
textbox3.text = MySplitString.tostring.split("|")(2)

now do that on more 100+ lines...

have fun typing.... :)

Also "MySplitString" is sting no need to ".ToString()" a string.

actually what you on about?

check the quote in my post for the original code he used if not changed yet.

No offense but this genuinely hurts my eyes.
Imagine having to do this a lot of times.
You're splitting the string again each time, do it once and save it.
This way if you run an async task that edits the string you suddenly have different results.
