of spaces
Dim MyString
MyString = Space(10) ' Returns a string with 10 spaces.
MyString = "Hello" & Space(10) & "World" ' Insert 10 spaces between two strings.
Split
Description Returns a zero-based, one-dimensional array extracted from the supplied string expression.
Usage strVal = Split(expression[, delimiter[, count[, compare]]])
Arguments expression
Required. String expression containing substrings and delimiters.
delimiter
Optional. String character used to identify substring limits.
count
Optional. Number of substrings to be returned; -1 indicates that all substrings are returned.
compare
Optional. Numeric value indicating the kind of comparison to use when evaluating substrings.
See Settings section for values.
Settings The compare argument can have the following values:
Constant Value Description
vbBinaryCompare 0 Perform a binary comparison.
vbTextCompare 1 Perform a textual comparison
Return A zero-based, one-dimensional array string.
Remarks If expression is a zero-length string, Split returns an empty array, that is, an array with no
elements and no data. If delimiter is 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. The result of the Split function cannot be assigned to a variable of
Variant subtype Array, otherwise a runtime error will occur.
See Also Join
Example The following example uses the Split function to return an array from a string. The function
performs a textual comparison of the delimiter, and returns all of the substrings
Dim MyString, MyArray, Msg
MyString = "VBScriptXisXfun!"
MyArray = Split(MyString, "x", -1, 1)
' MyArray(0) contains "VBScript".
' MyArray(1) contains "is".
' MyArray(2) contains "fun!".
Msg = MyArray(0) & " " & MyArray(1)
Msg = Msg & " " & MyArray(2)
