This is getting ridiculous. I have now written a function to strip out all the headers and replace all Chr(&C0) and all Chr(&80) (the ascii AE's) with a plain text AE. The string is now "AE300AE318AE65AEBuddiesAE302AE319AE300AE319AE7AEclassybabe27_742AE301AE319AE303AE319AE301AE318AE300AE318AE65AEFriendsAE302AE319AE300AE319AE7AEleet.spikeAE301AE319AE303AE319AE301AE318AE303AE318AEAE300AE312AE313AE2AE314AE0AE301AE312AE300 AE312AE313AE6AE314AE-1AE301AE312AE300AE312AE313AE4AE314AE0AE301AE312AE300AE312AE313AE8AE314AE1AE301AE312AE300AE312AE313AE9AE314AE900AE301AE312AE303AE312AE"
Could someone please explain why then when I Split(thestring, "65AE") I get a 161 position array, many of which are empty? Yet again, 65AE only occurs 2 times in my string. And if I blindly barge through the routine with TRY, I must at a later point split the array at "7AE", yet when I encounter the name classybabe27_742, I get back classybabe2, _, 42. And honestly all this stripping and replacing characters is not a preferred solution. It's an ugly hack to a simple problem, that I'm sure is going to create problems later in this project. A project I've already invested 2 weeks in, and am about to have to scrap if this isn't possible. Please tell me I'm doing something wrong here, because if this language cannot even split a simple string.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
