Default String separated with commas

Hi Rick:

Thanks for the tip about being able to use more than one character as a
separator.

You do not have to use the replace function to pare down the delimiter to a
single character like that... the delimiter can contain multiple
characters...

s2 = Split(s, ", ")

where the characters between the quote marks are a comma followed by a
space. Now, with that said, doing what you posted will protect against a
improperly formed string of text where the number of spaces following the
comma are not consistent throughout the text.
