How can I manipulate string in vbscript

[dorisr1]

Hi,
I need to know how to manipulate string in vbscript...

I have something like this :

Mystring =" xxxxxx yyyyyyyyy zzzzzz"

I need to set values :
a=Mystring(2,6)
b=Mystring(10,9)
c=Mystring(26,6)
But this doesn't work... I tried substring but with no success...

I'm new to vbscripting... Can anyone help me on this case ?


Thanks
Doris

Look at Mid and Replace functions. Mid is probably the one you are looking for.

var = mid(myStr, Start, Length)

You could also strip the unneeded extra spaces then Split the string into an array...

Do Until InStr(myStr, "  ") = 0 [green]' Loop until no double spaces exist[/green]
    myStr = Replace(myStr, "  ", " ") [green]' Replace doubles with singles[/green]
Loop

arr = Split(myStr) [green]' Split on default delimeter (space)[/green]
