Splitting variables

[turfbult]

Hello,

I have a textbox where the user can enter keywords which he must
"split" by using a comma. IE. forum,internet,webpage

How can I split whatever he entered, into different, single keywords
eg. he enters forum,internet,webpage - I now want to split it into
var1="forum"
var2="internet"
var3="webpage"

Any help please.

Thanks,
T

Why don't you use split function ?

stringObj.split([separator])


function SplitDemo(){
var s, ss;
var s = "The rain in Florida falls mainly in the plain.";
// Split at each space character.
ss = s.split(" ");
return(ss);
}

Hi turfbult

You can do the the following providing it is only a maximum of 3 words

Dim sVar1
Dim sVar2
Dim sVar3
Dim sString
Dim iCountFirst
Dim iCountSecond

sString = "forum,internet,webpage"
iCountFirst = InStr(1, sString, ",")

'more than one word
If iCountFirst > 0 Then
    sVar1 = Mid(sString, 1, iCountFirst - 1)
    
    'More than two words
    If InStr(iCountFirst + 1, sString, ",") > 0 Then
        iCountSecond = InStr(iCountFirst + 1, sString, ",")
        sVar2 = Mid(sString, iCountFirst + 1, Len(sString) - iCountSecond + 1)
        sVar3 = Mid(sString, iCountSecond + 1)
    Else
        sVar2 = Mid(sString, iCountFirst + 1)
    End If
    
Else
    sVar1 = sString
End If

Hope this helps
