Ok... you have to parse the string.

What you have to do is do a few nested loops, checking for spaces, ( " " ) then, when a space is found for the first time, everythign before that is the first word

Then, in the next loop, you check for the next space. when it is found, everything between the last space and this one is the next word, and so on.

To chsck for spaces etc, use the Mid$() command.

Hope I Helped...

I just wrote a substring method in one of my other posts.

Eh, screw it! Here, I'll write it for you since I'm in the mood to code stuff. There's an instr$() function now!

Now it works with DBC, just checked. All I had to change was the function header.

Actually, I tried your code Phaelax but.. it didn't work with me. I got this:
Quote: "runtime error at line 17. Program ran into a function declaration at line 17"


But as I remember.. I've made an surch program that surch for a word in a string. I'll should edit it and post it here. Hope i can find it.
