Simple VB.net split line

[Chronictank]

Hi all,
Just a quick question
I have the string "this is_stuff" and i want to split the line to get the result
a = this
b = is
c = stuff

I did the following:

' Holds results from split
dim result(2) as string
dim result2(2) as string

dim strline as string = "this is_stuff"

        result = strline.Split(" ")    'Split based on space character
        result2 = result(1).Split("_") 'Split second half of string based on _

        MessageBox.Show("a=" + result(0) + "b=" + result2(0) + "c=" + result2(1))

While this works, i am wondering if there is a better way to do this?

Nr mind got a solution

strline.Split(New Char() { "  "c, "_"c })

I think.

EDIT: The equivalent in C# which works is:

strline.Split(new [] {' ', '_'});

I know you got the answer - just wondering if you'd tried vbforums.com? Interested 'cause I've got a friend who's a mod on there. I know he's good at vb but not sure how good the forums are....

Back away from the VB. You're better off doing stuff in C# as learning the C bits will help you learn other languages, where as VB is pretty much just VB.
