SubString

[microkarl]

Hello all,

Say I have a string strData="4567n54y454=43nv345h983", and I want to seperate them into strData_1 = "4567n54y454" (takes every thing before '='), and strData_2 = "43nv345h983" (takes every thing after '=').

Can it be done easily? I mean, my first thought would be get the position of '=' from strData, and subString it. But, is there an easier way that the same thing can be achieve with fewer code??

 

Thanks

Try this:

 

            dim strData_Split As String()
strData_Split = Split(strData, "=")
 

 

You then have strData_Split(0) and strData_Split(1) with the two different halves.

Sure, that's not much of a problem. (See attached file)

Try these 2 :

 

 

"str.Substring(m, n)" :

 

where str is a string, consisting of n characters beginning with the character in position m of string :

� extract n number of characters, starting from the m th character. �

 

Eg. Dim str As String = "testing"

Dim str2 As String

str2 = str.Substring(1, 3) ' str2 has a value of "est"

 

 

 

 

"str.IndexOf(str2) " :

 

Eg. Dim str As String = "testing"

Dim str2 As String

str2 = str.IndexOf("stin") ' str2 has a value of "2"

 

 

 

[ note that in such cases, strings are numbered (from left to right), from 0,1,2,3, ...

not 1,2,3,4, .... ]
