Breaking apart strings

[tycaine]

As the subject suggests I need to break apart strings, strings that may be composed as follows:

"one|two|three"

I need to break them apart at the "|" and drop the three (in this case) into an array so that:

Array(0)="one"
Array(1)="two"
Array(2)="three"

And so on. Now, the big thing is that the strings could contain any number of 'items', so one could be "one|two|three" while another could be "one|two|three|four|five|six" and so on...

Is this possible? I've done something similar in JSP but now need to do it in ASP, and I'm at a loss, can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

Dim aryMyStrings
aryMyStrings = Split(strYourString)

Oops. Make that:

Dim aryMyStrings
aryMyStrings = Split(strYourString, "|")

Yes, thank you for the confirmation, I was this close to figuring it out for myself, but your note helped confirm things, thank you!!

stringList = "one|two|three"
arrayName = split(stringList,"|")
For i = 0 to ubound(arrayName)
	Response.write(arrayName(i))
	Response.write("<BR>")
Next

Output:

one<BR>two<BR>three

Which shows as:

one
two
three

Again, thank you!!
