[TUT] Splitting Strings [Basic]

The importance of knowing how to split strings in vb.net is so great I cannot describe it. You can use it for tons of things and it can be helpful when you're making certain programs. I am aware this is pretty basic however a lot of people ask how to do stuff like this with strings. Dim splitme As String = "ILikeCheese" MsgBox(splitme.Split("")(0).ToString) The result of this is "I" An array starts at 0 so we're splitting "" and basically getting the first result which is 0 or "I" Dim splitme As String = "ILikeCheese" MsgBox(splitme.Split("")(1).ToString) This returns "Like" because it is the second item in the array. Dim splitme As String = "ILikeCheese" MsgBox(splitme.Split("")(2).ToString) Finally, this returns "Cheese" because it is the third item. If you were to try this: Dim splitme As String = "ILikeCheese" MsgBox(splitme.Split("")(3).ToString) You get an error which states "Index was outside the bounds of the array" The reason why is there are only 3 words and the array starts

Pretty basic, you can also do stuff like this:

Split(Input, "|")(1).Split("|")(0)
