[RESOLVED] Parsing Words from Visio Form Textbox

Hello,

I am trying to extract the individual words that are comma delimited in a userform textbox into an array where each word has its own reference in the array.

For example, if the following is put in the textbox:
CMD,EXT,VEH,PER

I want an array 'A' with
A(1) = CMD
A(2) = EXT
.
.
.

I've found a couple VBA examples on parsing sentences, but Visio doesn't seem to have the same functions that they are using. Can anyone lend me a hand. I am new to VBA.

a = split(textbox1, ",")

if that does not work, specify the version of vba included with visio

Welcome to the forums :wave:

vb Code:

Sub Sample()
    '~~> Replace MyArray() by A() if you wish
    Dim MyArray() As String
    
    '~~> I am using StrSample as an example.
    '~~> Replace it with Textbox1.Text
    StrSample = "CMD,EXT,VEH,PER"
    
    '~~> Split the string based on the delimiter
    MyArray = Split(StrSample, ",")
    
    '~~> This is to just display what the array contains
    '~~> Replace it with your code
    For i = 0 To UBound(MyArray)
        MsgBox MyArray(i)
    Next i
End Sub
