It’s too bad Microsoft didn’t create the Split function until VB6, but here’s a function that duplicates it for VB4 and VB5 users. The only difference is that with VB4 and VB5, you must use a Variant to receive the Split data, whereas VB6 can also use a dynamic String array:
Public Function Split(aText As String, _ Optional vSrch As Variant) As Variant If IsMissing(vSrch) Then vSrch = " " Dim j As Long, k As Long, a As String ReDim s(0) As String a = aText k = InStr(a, vSrch) Do While k If j > UBound(s) Then ReDim Preserve s(0 To j) As String End If s(j) = Left$(a, k - 1) a = Mid$(a, k + Len(vSrch)) k = InStr(a, vSrch) j = j + 1 Loop If Len(a) Then If j > UBound(s) Then ReDim Preserve s(0 To j) As String End If s(j) = a End If Split = sEnd FunctionDim vDat As VariantvDat = Split("This is a test")' vDat(0) = "This" vDat(1) = "is", etc...
