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.

    • Doing that has only worked for me with the Enterprise version.
    • I like Neowin a lot, but this "article" is shady and misleading. We need an "editorial" flag and this isn't "news" it's "my cousin's dog's best friend posted on twitter about their snapchat account from their dog's owner that a bad thing happened, so it's NEWS." Thanks
    • Burrrrn. Bought COD WWII last month when it was on sale for PC. Oh well. Excellent game tho, and the PC version plays/looks amazing (and has it's own PC achievements). ...wondering if this is a lesson on waiting on sales. ...also hoping Rise of the Tomb Raider has it's own PC Achievements
