I'm trying to split a response from a server that has been stored as a string.
This response contains the ascii characters  as data field padding. I should
mention the response can get quite long too. Over 500 characters easily. For
example a response may look something like
3somestring65somestring9018900101. I get strange results
such as empty positions in the returned array, or the entire string returned in
the first and only position of the array when I try to split the string with 
as part of the seperator. I would also like to mention the debugger cannot
display these characters at all. Note screenshot 1 below.
I have seen the tip-of-the-day that states "If you want to manipulate UTF-8
string, you must use the methods of the String static class, which have the
same name as their standard counterparts." however the static string class does
not have a split function.
I have tried using:
Chr(&C0) & Chr(&80) <-- the chr codes for 
DConv <-- raises an error (unable to convert)
Conv <-- raises an error (unable to convert)
Asc
^$ <--- a suggested delimiter instead of the 
I tried to write a function to convert the entire string to ascii
PUBLIC FUNCTION C2A(StringToConvert AS String) AS String
DIM converted AS String
DIM i AS Integer
FOR i = 0 TO Len(StringToConvert)
converted = converted & "-" & Asc(StringToConvert, i)
NEXT
RETURN converted
END
Then splitting the string with ascii values of the seperators. It fails
miserably. (Screenshot2)
Am I missing something, or am I asking for too much?
Below are some screenshots to help convey my problem.

In the latter 2 screenshots you can see the array is quite long, over 1000 in
one case, when in fact the 65À€ (or 192-128-54-53-192-128) only occurs 2 times
in the entire string.
