Accessing Array Elements

[CondemnedOnline]

I don't know why, but I can't seem to figure this out, it doesn't make any sense to me.

I create an array like this...

    Dim strArray() as String
    Dim strContents as String

    strContents = joe,john,jimmy

    strArray = Split(strContents, ",")

How do I access each element in the array I try this...

txtName.Text = strArray(0)

and I get script out of range or something. I tried strArray(1) and I get the same thing. Can vb6 not directly access the elements? Every tutorial I see online only teaches how to display the elements with a for loop. I can't find a single tutorial that teaches how to just access one element when needed.

What am I doing wrong here?

You have to use "s to assign the data to the string

  Dim strArray() as String
    Dim strContents as String

    strContents = "joe,john,jimmy"

    strArray = Split(strContents, ",")

   Text1.Text=strArray(1)

I figured it out, sorry for the thread. I first was using the wrong array I had another array with almost the same name. Stupid me for not making my arrays way different in name. The second thing I was doing wrong was using commas since when reading from a text file it will only read till the first comma. I am using : instead and it works great even reading the contents from a file.

You can read commas from a text file just fine, you just need to do it differently.

Input # will read up to a comma or a line break assuming of course that the comma is not contained within "s in which case it is considered part of the data and will be read.
Line Input # reads a full line up to a line break, commas included.

There are other methods that can read any number of bytes up to the entire file at once.

You just need to use the right method for the job at hand.

How do I access each element in the array I try this...

txtName.Text = strArray(0)

following way you can access each of the element

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim strArray() As String
    Dim strContents As String

    strContents = "joe,john,jimmy" 'it is string so it needs to be in ""

    strArray = Split(strContents, ",")
    Text1 = strArray(0)
    Text2 = strArray(1)
    Text3 = strArray(2)
End Sub
