This code is an addon to the "split" function in VB, it takes an string and will split it into a 2D array. It's pretty easy to figure out. I wasn't sure whether to put this as a beginner or intermediate so it is kinda inbetween. If you're using VB5 or before you'll need to download a replacement split function from this site somewhere.
Latest - Fixed a small problem with different sizes of one dimension (could have been fixed with on error resume next but this is more effective)
VBcodersPrivate Function Split2D(StringToSplit, FirstDelimiter, SecondDelimiter)
Dim X As Integer, _
Y As Integer, _
FirstBound As Integer, _
SecondBound As Integer, _
ResultArray()
temparray = Split(StringToSplit, FirstDelimiter)
FirstBound = UBound(temparray)
For X = 0 To FirstBound
temparray2 = Split(temparray(X), SecondDelimiter)
If UBound(temparray2) > SecondBound Then SecondBound = UBound(temparray2)
Next
ReDim ResultArray(FirstBound, SecondBound)
For X = 0 To FirstBound
temparray2 = Split(temparray(X), SecondDelimiter)
For Y = 0 To UBound(temparray2)
ResultArray(X, Y) = temparray2(Y)
Next
Next
Split2D = ResultArray
End Function
