Arrays

[DayWalker]

Hi there

 

I have a VB app that the user enters in data into a textbox then prints it out on a form. The textbox is a multiline now when it is printed onto the form it runs off the edge and doesnt start a new line.

Basically i need to split the text into 60 characters and put them in a array then run through the array and print the text.....hope it sounds ok......

 

I am abit lost here dont really know where to start.

Any help to get me started will be appreciated

Have you thought about using a RichTextBox control instead?

Try this:

 

       Dim s As String = TextBox1.Text
       Dim ctr As Integer = Math.Floor(s.Length / 60)
       Dim lines(ctr) As String
       Dim k As Integer
       For k = 0 To ctr
           If k = ctr Then
               lines(k) = s.Substring(k * 60)
           Else
               lines(k) = s.Substring(k * 60, 60)
           End If
       Next
