Yes that truly helped me alot! Thank you very much for taking the time to write the code to assist me. I really appreciate it sir

My mistake, the textbox did create three seperate textboxes. I had to increment the location values in the code below:


' Input string.
Dim value As String = "said shed spread"

' Call Regex.Matches method.
Dim matches As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(value, "s\w+d")

' Loop over matches.
For Each m As Match In matches

Dim tb As TextBox = New TextBox()

With tb
Dim i As Integer
Dim y As Integer
For i = 1 To 3
y = y + 20
.Location = New Point(12, y)
.Name = String.Concat("TextBox", i.ToString())
.Parent = Me 'this command places textbox on the form!
'other properties

Next

End With

Next


But is there a code to use to add each item value to each textbox? What I am hoping to output is to have three textboxes, with the string "said" in Textbox1, "shed" in Textbox2 and "spread" in Textbox3.

Thank you for both of you to take the help me but again, I am having problems integrating your code. Right now, I cannot seem to increment the textboxes. This is what I tried but instead of outputting three textboxes, it outputs a single textbox in the default location:


' Input string.
Dim value As String = "said shed spread"

' Call Regex.Matches method.
Dim matches As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(value, "s\w+d")

' Loop over matches.
For Each m As Match In matches

Dim tb As TextBox = New TextBox()

With tb
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 3
.Name = String.Concat("TextBox", i.ToString())
.Parent = Me 'this command places textbox on the form!
'other properties

Next

End With

Clearly, I am not writing the code the right way. And if I can get it to create three textbox, I still do not know how to make each item store the values in the textboxex; unless its in a listbox like my code in the question.

What I am hoping to output is to have three textboxes, with the string "said" in Textbox1, "shed" in Textbox2 and "spread" in Textbox3. Again, I am a beginner in visual basic and I am asking for help to learn
