spliting a string into an array by " 1

[theocraticmind]

i'd like to use the split() sunction to split a string into an array, moving to a new part every ". but i'm not sure how... i'g getting this error when i try the logical way:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0409'

Unterminated string constant

/dfxboard/new_topic.asp, line 24

aray() = split(string1,""&quot
---------------------------^

this is in a function. so string1 is not given a value until the function is called. i'm not sure what it meant by "Unterminated string constant" but i'm asuming it has to do with the """... any help would be great

try aray() = split(string1, """&quot 'there's 4 there

Dear TheoreteicMind
You can use

const ArraySep = """"
dim StData
StData = Split(straData, ArraySep )

'Now you can use stData(0),stData(1) and so on......


Hope it will help you

Or
aray()=split(string1,chr(34))

chr(34) is a "

I have been using chr(34) a lot in com components simply because I did not know of the "".
Now I prefere the "".

.write ".... onClick=" & chr(34) & "alert('hi');" & chr(34) & ">"
This is such a pita and this:
.write ".... onClick=""alert('hi');"">"
Is the same.

In your case script like this works allso:

dim str
dim arr
str = "nul""one""two"
arr = split(str,"""&quot
i = 0
do until i > ubound(arr)
Response.Write arr(i) & &quot;<br>&quot; & vbcrlf
i = i + 1
loop


What you did wrong the first time is that you were missing one &quot; character in your split function you had(&quot;&quot;&quot should have been (&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot.
