Help with trimming characters?

[hazejean]

I have situation where i am reading a list in text in following form:

[string1];[string2];[string3];[string4]

 

I want to extract "string1" "string2" etc

 

I did a split using ;...code follows

 

Dim strstring21 As String = pretext(2)

Dim s21() As String = Split(strstring21, ";")

For x = LBound(s21) To UBound(s21)

linkpos(x) = s21(x)

Next

 

THEN I need to remove left and right brackets from the strings in linkpos array. Ideas?

 

Thanks

You could use the Replace method of a string:

dim str As String = "[string1];[string2]"
str = str.Replace("[", "")
