Can you help me?

[killer_cobra]

I am having a problem with using the Left, Right and Mid functions. I have a string input called strData and it consists of anything from "0,0" - "1024,768" and constantly changes in that range.

I need to split it up for use in the SetCursorPos function, anything before the comma is the X axis, and anything after the comma is th Y axis.

Does anyone know how to do that? I know how to extract things from strings, but doing it my way just gave me "Type Mismatch" errors. They somehow need to be extracted as Long datatypes to function correctly in SetCursorPos.

Can anyone tell me how to this seemingly impossible task?

Thanx a million in advance!!!

Use the Split function.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim Coords As String
    Dim vArray As Variant
    
    Coords = "1024,768"
    
    vArray = Split(Coords, ",")
    
    MsgBox vArray(0) & vbCrLf & vArray(1)
End Sub
