Hey this function just emulates the Visual Basic function that we know and love “split”!!! You use it the same way you would have in vb. avar := split('string to break up',' ',2); That will return avar as “to” thatâs it, have fun and please vote!!

Superb. You can't get enough string manipulation functions. I always need them for something or other, especially finding one string within another or finding a value. In this case I am using the function to determine the file type in a list of files.

I have made some changes to the code and it works perfectly now changes marked with * function TFRMCLAIMIMAGE.split(input:string;schar: char;s:integer):string; var i,n:integer; schop: string; begin n := 0; * for i := 1 to length(input) + 1 * added an acrement of 1 to cater for last character do begin * if (input[i] = schar)or (i=length(input)+1) then * added some code to cater for the last field begin inc(n); if (n = s) then split := schop else schop := ''; end else schop := schop + input[i]; end; end; Mail me if you need more clarification
