Default EXTRACTING SUBSTRINGS !!


Hello -

Dim A as string
Dim brkout() as string
Dim B as string, C as string, D as string, E as string, Leftover as
string

A contains text. I am trying to store the first 4 substrings of A in B,
C, D, and E. Then I want whatever else is left to be stored in Leftover.
The delimiter for the substrings is ".."

I have been able to use the SPLIT() function to store the first 4
strings using brkout=split(A,"..")
then B=brkout(1):C=brkout(2):D=brkout(3):E =brkout(4)

How do I store the remaining text left in brkout() (apart from B,C,D and
E) in Leftover?

Any help would be appreciated.

Jay
