Split Function In Vb5

Hi Folks,

Split function is not available natively in VB5. MSDN has provided a replacement for VB5.
Here is the code.

VB Code:

Public Function Split(ByVal sIn As String, Optional sDelim As _
            String, Optional nLimit As Long = -1, Optional bCompare As _
             VbCompareMethod = vbBinaryCompare) As Variant
          Dim sRead As String, sOut() As String, nC As Integer
          If sDelim = "" Then
              Split = sIn
          End If
          sRead = ReadUntil(sIn, sDelim, bCompare)
          Do
              ReDim Preserve sOut(nC)
              sOut(nC) = sRead
              nC = nC + 1
              If nLimit <> -1 And nC >= nLimit Then Exit Do
              sRead = ReadUntil(sIn, sDelim)
          Loop While sRead <> ""
          ReDim Preserve sOut(nC)
          sOut(nC) = sIn
          Split = sOut
      End Function
 
Public Function ReadUntil(ByRef sIn As String, _
            sDelim As String, Optional bCompare As VbCompareMethod _
          = vbBinaryCompare) As String
          Dim nPos As String
          nPos = InStr(1, sIn, sDelim, bCompare)
          If nPos > 0 Then
              ReadUntil = Left(sIn, nPos - 1)
              sIn = Mid(sIn, nPos + Len(sDelim))
          End If
      End Function

This code doesn't work as smoothly as the split function in vb6.
Notice this array "Open ~ Close ~~ Send". This is not getting correctly split in this function.S
So I have made a slight change to the function.

Here is my changed function. Please review and comments.

VB Code:

Public Function Split(ByVal sIn As String, Optional sDelim As _
            String, Optional nLimit As Long = -1, Optional bCompare As _
             VbCompareMethod = vbBinaryCompare) As Variant
          Dim sRead As String, sOut() As String, nC As Integer
          If sDelim = "" Then
              Split = sIn
          End If
          sRead = ReadUntil(sIn, sDelim, bCompare)
          Do
              ReDim Preserve sOut(nC)
              sOut(nC) = sRead
              nC = nC + 1
              If nLimit <> -1 And nC >= nLimit Then Exit Do
              sRead = ReadUntil(sIn, sDelim)
          Loop While Len(sIn) <> 0 ''My Change Over here
          ReDim Preserve sOut(nC)
          sOut(nC) = sIn
          Split = sOut
      End Function
