Split Function

Returns a zero-based, one-dimensional array containing a specified number of substrings.

                      Split(expression[, delimiter[, count[, compare]]])

Arguments

  • expression
    Required. String expression containing substrings and delimiters. If expression is a zero-length string, Split returns an empty array, that is, an array with no elements and no data.

  • delimiter
    Optional. String used to identify substring limits. If omitted, the space character (" ") is assumed to be the delimiter. If delimiter is a zero-length string, a single-element array containing the entire expression string is returned.

  • count
    Optional. Number of substrings to be returned; -1 indicates that all substrings are returned. If omitted, all substrings are returned.

  • compare
    Optional. Numeric value indicating the kind of comparison to use when evaluating substrings. See Settings section for values. If omitted, a binary comparison is performed.

Remarks

The following example uses the Split function to fill an array from a string that uses "|" as a delimiter.

Dim MyString, MyArray, i
MyString = "VBScript|is|fun!"
MyArray = Split(MyString, "|", -1, 1)
' MyArray(0) contains "VBScript".
' MyArray(1) contains "is".
' MyArray(2) contains "fun!".

For i = 0 to UBound(MyArray)
   MsgBox (MyArray(i))
Next
