Searching a String

[timmbo]

Hi All,

I have a string containing date/time. What I need to do is seperate the two into two different variables(strings). The date/time string to be seperated would look something like -

6/1/2004 08:00 AM or 10/22/2004 11:59 PM, etc...

What would be the easiest way to break this up. Does anyone have any samples I can view.

Any help most appreciated.

TIA,
Tim

You could use indexOf() to find the first occurence of a space character, then use substring() to get the chars up to that index for the date and after that index for the time.
