Split

[lothos12345]

What is the correct syntax to split a string in VB.NET with option strict on? Any help given is greatly appreciated.

       Dim MyString() As String
       MyString = Split("this is a string to split", " ")

 

Regards

For the future... this is and most language syntax can be looked up for free at MSDN.com. Please find it and bookmark it.

The only thing special I can think of is that your delimiter may have to sub appended with a c ( as in string.split(mybigstring,'F'c) to make the method happy. It is expecting a character and by default I think 'F' is assumed to be a string.

Or

Dim MyString() As String
Dim s As String = "this is a string to split"
MyString = s.Split(" ")

if you prefer to use the .Net methods rather than the legacy VB functions.
