[2005] Spliting a string

[steve_rm]

hello,

I have developed some code below to split a string.

In a string I get back from a database i have for example "13 Hours". I have to split this and put them into 2 different string variables. So it would separate 13 from hours.

Does anyone know of any better method to do this.

Many thanks,

'Split the estimated duration into value and periodically (dates) i.e. "4 Days" to "4" "Days"
Dim duration As String = Me.DsIncidentsControl.IncidentTask(0).EstimatedDuration
Dim strArray(2) As String 'Array with 2 element to hold the number and date
                strArray = duration.Split(" ") 'Split at the space
                Me.txtEstimatedDuration.Text = strArray(0) 'Assign the number value
                Me.cboDuration.Text = strArray(1) 'Assign the date
