Reading from a string line by line

[JpEgy]

I want to read 1 line form a string that contains multiple lines. Put that line in an array, and read the next line and put into aray until there are no more lines in the string. I already asked this question on the normal VB board but since the 'line' statement isn't supported anymore they can't help me....

I'm assuming since this was posted in the .NET section that you're using VB.NET.

Private Sub lineTest()
    Dim myString As String = "line1" & vbCrLf & "line2" & vbCrLf & "line3"
    Dim myArray As String()
    Dim myLine As String
    myArray = myString.Split(vbCrLf)
    Debug.WriteLine(myString)
    Debug.WriteLine("There are " & myArray.Length.ToString & " lines.")
    Debug.WriteLine("The lines are:")
    For Each myLine In myArray
        Debug.WriteLine(myLine)
    Next
End Sub

it works but when i add it to a listbox there this stupid little square in front of the arr(1). that's the enter. How do i remove it? left/right doesn;t work anymore in VB.net.....

made a couple of minor adjustments, maybe this will work better:

Private Sub lineTest()
    Dim myString As String = "line1" & Chr(10) & "line2" & Chr(10) & "line3"
    Dim myArray As String()
    Dim myLine As String
    myArray = myString.Split(Chr(10))
    ListBox1.Items.Clear()
    For Each myLine In myArray
        Debug.WriteLine(myLine)
        ListBox1.Items.Add(myLine)
    Next
End Sub

now that enter thing is on the end of every string..... i just need to remove the last item of the string all the times can u give me the .net code for that plz?

I'm not sure what needs to be removed... i guess if you need to remove _a_ character you can use the Replace method of the string object, eg:

myString = myString.Replace("something","someotherthing")

in my example using the Chr(10), when you use the Split method that character(the Chr(10)) is not included with any of the strings in the resulting array...i'm using beta 2 code still, maybe we're on different versions or something. (fyi, the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace has all of the VB6 methods like Left, Right, Replace, etc.)

i fixed it by doing a split twice.
