I want to be able to have the user enter some data into a multiline textbox, and then seperate each line into a string, stored in an array. This is what I have so far, but it doesn't really work.

A couple little things: -Use the Preserve keyword after ReDim to keep the data in the array when you resize it -TempMarker represents the start of the next line, so it should be set to iCount + 2 (to skip the new line character) -There isn't a new line character at the end of the text, so you'll have to add the last line into the array when the loop finishes -You don't need to use the InStr function... simply check if Mid(txtInput.Text, iCount, 2) is the new line character |

Thanks a lot, I got it working. i have a question about it though...
How does that line work? It's checking if a string of length 2 is equal to vbNewLine, which I assume is one character. How does that work? |

I normally use vbCrLf for new lines, which is two characters: carriage return + linefeed. I thought vbNewLine was the same as vbCrLf, although after checking the VB help files, apparently vbNewLine is a platform-specific new line character, and sometimes doesn't include the linefeed character. |
