dear originalgriff
C means?

OriginalGriff 30-Oct-12 7:55am

As a suffix to a string, it tells the compiler that it is not a string, but a single character object.
so ";" is a string containing a single semicolon, ";"C is a single character containing a semicolon.

If your split-er character is ';' then OriginalGriff is right.

Use code like below
first split by ;
and then substring

VB

Dim a = "<headline>toranto; national</headline>"
Dim ary = a.split(";")

txtbox1.text = ary(0).tostring.substring(ary(0).indexof(">"),ary(0).tostring().length - ary(0).indexof("<"))

txtbox2.text = ary(1).tostring.substring(ary(1).indexof("<"),ary(1).tostring().length - ary(0).indexof("<"))

Happy Coding!
