Small split question

[yannip]

Hi;

A“split” question:

I need to split the following “2010 - trmlo202010 - 21 - 23” and the output should be “trmlo202010 - 21 - 23”. If i split on “-” with index 1, I only get the ‘trmlo202010’ part. Also it is variable, I know there will be at least 1 “-” and I need to get the string after this first “-”.

Few examples:
Input “2010 - trmlo202010 - 21 - 23” with expected output “trmlo202010 - 21 - 23”
Input “2020 - AbCD202010 - 22 -24 - 27 - 23" with expected output “AbCD202010 - 22 -24 - 27 - 23”

Thanks

try this:
String1 = “2010 - trmlo202010 - 21 - 23”
String2 = Left(String1,4)

This will give flexibility on separator value what ever the year it is in the beginning of the string.
Hope my inputs are useful.

Hi,

other solution would be to limit the number split occurences:

inputStr.Split({“-”}, 2, Nothing).Last.ToString

Will split on only the first occurence of “-” and return the second part (.Last) as a string.
