Newbie: substrings

[steve]

Hi,

I want to extract in separate strings the substrings separated by spaces in
lines like:

A B D between 21.2 32.4
S B V > 332.3
..... etc

where each line is a string.
Since the various substrings are not of constant length, the substring
function is not too useful for me.
I think i can do it with left- right-substrings, but is there a method that
will extract a string between delimiters? (spaces in my case)

TIA

Steve,

String.Split

I hope this helps,

Cor

Why do you want to extract the letters using substrings when you can use
'Split'?

Look at the String.Split function. It should do the trick for you.

Errata:

'String.Split'/'String.Split'/'Regex.Split'.

The first item should read 'Strings.Split'.
