ackward loop Q [resolved]

*edit* wow u guys are good..thanks


i'm sending information over network w/ winsock and i want to take this information and put it in a listbox

an example of how it comes in w/ Getdata

Nick....]Joe....]Mike....]]

whats between the name and the "]" is not important, i just used them to seperate the data
and the double "]" at the end signifies the end of the data i need



i want the listbox to have
Nick....
Joe.....
Mike....


i need help with a loop that will find the "]" and take the data up to that point, and then search after that point in the next run of the loop
Do you understand? here's what i tried but it didn't work right

Code:

---

Do
sTemp1 = Mid(sData, 10)
sTemp2 = Mid(sTemp1, 1, InStr(1, sTemp1, "]") + 1)
strX = Right(sTemp2, 2)
sTemp3 = Left(sTemp2, Len(sTemp2) - 2)
List1.AddItem sTemp3

Loop Until strX = "]]"

---

here:

VB Code:

Dim a() As String, k As Integer
Const file = "Nick....]Joe....]Mike....]]"
a() = Split(file, "]")
For k = LBound(a) To UBound(a)
    If a(k) <> "" Then
        List1.AddItem a(k)
    End If
Next k
