Matti Your string has 3 substrings when split with SPLIT (STRING, "#"):
Index 0: "Hello" Index 1: "" Index 2: "12345" It is documented that separators are single characters, not strings; you can specify a string because any of its individual characters may be used as separator. If you also specify IgnoreVoids as True, split should omit the null string and return only: Index 0: "Hello" Index 1: "12345" HTH, zxMarce.
