Split a String into 2 Variables

Question

What I'm trying to do here is Capture 2 Variables from a Textbox

Here is an example of whats going to be in here.

User:Pass

I want to declare everything before the : as user and everything after the : as pass.

I've Googled, and found a few things, but I couldn't seem to get it working fully.

Answer 1

Dim words As String() = textbox1.text.Split(":")
Dim user as String =  words(0)
Dim pass as String =  words(1)

Answer 2

Dim str = "User:Pass"

Dim split = str.Split(":")

Dim user as String
Dim password as String

If (split.Count = 2) then
    user=split(0).ToString()
    password = split(1).ToString()
End If

Split on the : , if there are 2 entries in the resulting array, populate the user variable with the first item, and the password variable with the second.

Answer 3

Have a look at the split function.

Answer 4

Dim user As String
Dim pass As String
Dim iPosEQ As Integer
iPosEQ = textbox1.text.IndexOf(":", System.StringComparison.Ordinal)
kv(0) = textbox1.text.Substring(0, iPosEQ - 1)
kv(1) = textbox1.text.Substring(iPosEQ + 1)

This works even with passwords (or users) with ":"
