parsing strings

[blueindian1]

Hello All,

Here is my problem. I have a hidden field called theField on formA that contains the following:

"Dogs&Cats&Birds&Snakes&Rhinos"

I submit the form, and on the next page have

dim var
var = reqest.form("theField")

My question is this: what's the best way to parse the individual terms out of the string such that I can set individual variables equal to "Dogs", "Cats", "Birds", etc..

Thanks!

dim var, varArray
var = reqest.form("theField&quot
varArray = split(var,"&&quot

you now have an array... each of the individual elements holding the words that fall between the & signs in your 'var' variable.
