Question...

[Visual Basic Matt]

Ok,I'm not sure how to do so, so here's my question...

If I has a text with a list of different items,

So basicly what I want is this...
For example...
If there was a text like this below

Show-MyUsername

But the program wants to add to the list the information after,
"Show-" Then, add the text after that to the list...
Another example would be...

Prompt[Information]

Adding to the list whats in between the "[" and the other "]"

Thanks, I take all the help I can get, I really appreciate it.

Well here are a couple of methods I just free handed, I don't have vb on this system, but this should get you started

Private Function ExtractShow(sText as string) as string
Dim Pos as integer

Pos=instr(1,sText,"Show-")+5

ExtractShow=Mid(sText,Pos)
End Function

Here is for prompt

Private Function ExtractPrompt(sText as string) as string
Dim Pos(1) as integer

Pos(0)=instr(1,sText,"Prompt(")+7
Pos(1)=instr(pos(0),sText,")")

ExtractPrompt=Mid(sText,pos(0),pos(1)-pos(0))
End Function

Ok thanks, I'll see what I can do...

For the record, I tested both functions on my system and both work fine.
