Using Split function against an array like "100,200,300"

[RSQUARE]

I have a Multi Select list box in a ASP page. It displays some Text values but internally, each text value is given a unique numeric id. All this come from a table. So good, so far.

I followed the idea given at

http://www.softburn.com/content/pro.../ASP/Functions/Handling multiselect lists.txt

Now after submission, I tried to use the Split() function to capture the selected items in the list box. But since Request.Form("listbox1&quot will get me only numeric values delimited by commas, Spilt function doesn't work for me. It requires a string to be split. So what is the workaround


So how to go about it ? What is the best method to tackle this challenge?

Thanks in Advance.

RR.

you can convert Request.Form("listbox1&quot to a string using cstr(Request.Form("listbox1&quot) then you can use split Gordon R. Durgha

Why are you using split? Its already in a collection so
why use more resources to get it into an array?

for i = 1 to request.form("listbox1&quot.count
'do something to with request.form("listbox&quot(i)
next
