put split back together?

[cyprus106]

I've got to split a string 2 times, one inside of the next to find and change a certain variable. When I change that variable, I want to put it back in the original string but my methods seem to fail repeatedly.
What I do is split the string by ':'s first, then by ','s inside that. then i tried to step back out the way i came in by putting the second split inside the first and the first inside the original string again. Didn't work

Here's my code. Hope someone asphigher than me knows what to do. thanks!

inItems = Split(Request.Cookies("SavedItems&quot, ":&quot
For x = 0 to UBound(inItems) - 1
itemProps = Split(inItems(x), ",&quot


if itemProps(1) = request("item_name&quot then
itemProps(0) = int(itemProps(0)) + 1

inItems(x) = ""
For j = 0 to UBound(itemProps) - 1
inItems(x) = inItems(x) + itemProps(j)
next


Dim strItems
For i = 0 to UBound(inItems) - 1
strItems = strItems + inItems(i)
strItems = strItems & ":"
next

response.Cookies("SavedItems&quot = strItems
end if
Next

Have you thought of some form of REPLACE

strw = Replace(Request.Cookies("SavedItems&quot, _
";" & request("item_name&quot & ";", "&quot

Instead of + use &, thats the correct format for concatenating strings in ASP,

errr, how about Join()?

Join takes an array and a character and creates a delimited string for you, ie the opposite of Split. Therefore you could:

a = "a,b,c,d:1,2,3,4"
'split 1
array1 = split(a, ":")

'split an inner array
inner1 = split(array1(0),",")

'change a value
inner1(3) = "e"

'join inner array back to correct index
array1(0) = Join(inner1,",")
a = join(array1,":")

Response.Write a

This will substitute the 4th entry in the first set (d) with e.
