Im using Split to split some text in to an array.. How do i find out how many pieces of text it split it in to though?

ubound(Array()) for upper value

and

lbound(Array()) for lowest value

don't forget that VB6 array indexes start at 1 unless you override it (can't remember how that's done, haven't used VB6 in.....7 years?)

They actually start at 0 unless otherwise specified.

eg

dim array()

array=split(string,",")

array(0) will contain the string content before the first ,

array(1) the next and so forth

oh ok....i was thinking the opposite then. so they can be changed to be 1-based then. nevermind! like i said, it's been a long time since i worked on vb6....
