I have a large string (about 40 pages worth of data) That I need to parcel into smaller chunks, there are repeating markers in the data that I want to use as delimiters. txtimp is the large raw string, and hand() is the string array that I want to have the data chopped into. I'm using:
stray()=txtimp.split("Data") |
But, It is only searching for "D", not "Data". There are frequent D's in the text, so It's giving me many smaller strings I dont want.
In the IDE, when Inputting the string I want it to search for, it gives me a list of ten choices of versions of split to use. I always select the one that uses a string to search, but it always uses a char.
Help!
PS, The beta version's Help documentation sucks. You type an entry to search for (non-online docs) and it comes back with random entries, Otherwwise I would figured this thing out for my self.
(NEWB) Using .split()?

Been about 15 years since I coded, aside from PALM pilot coding in NSBasic, trying to catch up. No more cin and cout stuff hehehe.....

This is the VB-code:
Dim
inputstring As String = "DataabcDatadefData" Dim re As new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("Data") Dim result() As Stringresult = re.Split(inputstring)
inputstring is your long string of data.
result is the array of chopped strings
"Data" is the separator.
this code fills result with 4 strings ("",abc,def,"")

yup, you lost me.....
Maybe instead of Split, is there VB way of doing this so it finds a string, and parses from one delimiter string to the next and sticks it in an array

String.Split can use only chars as separator. Or array's of chars if you want to use multiple separators.
You can use the Regex.Split however:
string input = "Data1Data2Data3Data";
Regex re = new Regex("Data");
string[] test = re.Split(input);
I hope you have no problems with the c# code. If you do I will translate it.
