Breaking appart strings

[cdoverlaw]

how do i break the letters appart in a string as i am working on a soundex method to create a key for a surname

 

[iebidan]

substr will be helpful on that one

 

[splice]

use the Chars() member method of the String object

 

[dynamic_sysop]

you can break up the characters like this ...

        Dim c As Char() = "some text".ToCharArray()
        /// the string some text is now broken up to individual characters.

uhm splice was quite right, he only didnt see that Chars isnt a method but a property


you can go through each char by

string text = "blabla"; //

for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
{
char c = text.Chars;
...
}

or

foreach (char c in text.Chars)
{
...
}

of course dynamic_sysops answer is also write but unnecessarily complicated, but i would never criticize a forum leader *duck*

so many ways go to rome and you can use some different ways to get to your aim, just choose your style ( I prefer the for one at this situation )

lol , btw its not complicated :-\

        Dim s As String = "some text"
        Dim c As Char

        For Each c In s.ToCharArray
            Console.WriteLine(c.ToString)
        Next
