certain cicrmustances more than one variable is returned and then you
need to use globals or byref (like pointers in c(++)) so I could write a
function

function splitinhalf(byval s as string, byref s1 as string, byref s2 as
string) as boolean

and this function whould split the string s in half and put the answers in
s1 and s2 and return true on success and false otherwise.


or the function could return an array
