I am working with visual basic.net 1.1. I need to parse out data in a string
that is space delimited. The number of spaces between each data item in the
string can change. (I have no control over how many spaces are between each
item in the string since I am getting the data from a mainframe system over
the internet.)
I know that if I used the string function called split, I can split the
items in the string into items in an array. However, this is assuming the
delimiter is exactly the same. In this case, the number of spaces can change.
Thus I am looking for a solution to this parsing problem. I do not care if
I used the split string function. I would just like a solution that works.
Thanks!
 
use

split(' ') to create an array

then eliminate all elements where length==0

then trim the right spaces from the remaining.
