Split String between space in Listbox


Question

I am trying to split a single, long string by spaces into listbox ITEMS. For example:

I need AAAAA-AAAAA BBBBB-BBBBB CCCCCC-CCCCC

to be in listbox as:

AAAAA-AAAAA

BBBBB-BBBBB

CCCCC-CCCCC

 

 

 

In Visual Basic.

 

I know that there must be a simple solution and I have been unable to solve it. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you :)

String.Split is indeed the best way.

 

Then just iterate through your array to insert it into the list box. Foreach will make that easier :)

in VB.NET (easily modified for C#) You would do something simple like..
 

        Dim str As String
        str = "AAA-AAA BBB-BBB CCC-CCC"

        ListBox1.Items.AddRange(str.Split(" "))

VB6 is close.. but a little different

 

        Dim str As String
        str = "AAA-AAA BBB-BBB CCC-CCC"
        For Each st In Split(str, " ")
            List1.AddItem (st)
        Next st

The way you do the thing in vb6 with the for each could be used in the .NET languages too, but you save a couple lines, and you are using a pre-existing function to do it.

    • Adobe releases all-new Photoshop app for Android devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Early this year, Adobe released an all-new Photoshop app for iOS devices. Designed from the ground up for smartphones, the app allows users to easily add, remove, adjust, and combine content, as well as access free Adobe Stock assets to create new visuals. Today, Adobe announced a similar, brand-new Photoshop app for Android devices, currently in beta. It’s important to note that this Android version is not intended to replace the desktop version of Photoshop. Instead, it offers access to select powerful Photoshop features—including layering, masking, and the new Generative Fill—within an easy-to-use mobile interface. During the beta phase, the following features are available to all users: Following the beta phase, users will need a new Photoshop Mobile & Web plan to access the premium features. The premium features list includes the ability to remove objects by brushing over them with the Remove Tool, the ability to use Clone Stamp to hide unwanted objects by cloning areas of an image, the ability to fill portions of an image with content sampled from other parts of the image with Content-Aware Fill, the ability to export using additional file formats (PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG), and more. You can download the Adobe Photoshop app from the Google Play Store if your device is running Android 11 or later and has at least 6GB of RAM (8GB or more is recommended for optimal performance).
