You will have to be more specific, what data is comming in? and how do you wnat to split it?

Im receiving integers and strings, for example:

Quantity: 25 Noise: 45

How can i split the quantity and noise ?

You can have it split the packets at certain sections and such.

An example would be something like spliting the packet where ever theres a space:

Winsock1.GetData Data

Text1.Text = Split(Data, " ")(0)
Text2.Text = Split(Data, " ")(1)
Text3.Text = Split(Data, " ")(2)

And such like that. If you are sending the packets yourself, you can add space characters to the packets and have it split the packets by that character.

Something like, if your split character is ¥ you can have the program send a packet like:

Dim Packet as String

Packet = "Hello" & SEP & "Hello2" & SEP & "Hello3" & SEP
Winsock1.SendData Packet

Then you can split that packet by using:

Const SEP = "¥"

Winsock1.GetData Data

Text1.Text = Split(Data, "¥")(0)
Text2.Text = Split(Data, "¥")(1)
Text3.Text = Split(Data, "¥")(2)

Just some examples of doing this. You can also use the Mid function as well.

This helped a lot, thanks!
