the same as the mirc gettok function - very usefull
VBcoders' mIRC gettok func for vb
' (c) by diChter, www.diChtbox.de.vu
' usage: gettok(text, N, asciival char)
' example:
' MsgBox gettok(this-really-owns-yo-momma, "2-4", 45)
' would return 'really-owns-yo'
' MsgBox gettok(this-really-owns-yo-momma, "3", 45)
' would return 'owns'
Public Function gettok(t As String, n As String, c As Integer)
On Error Resume Next ' just in case..
Dim splitted
splitted = Split(t, Chr(c)) ' splits text by token
If n = "0" Then ' if n is 0 return num of tokens
gettok = UBound(splitted) + 1
ElseIf InStr(n, "-") Then ' if '-' is in n..
Dim x As Integer, r As String
If Right(n, 1) = "-" Then ' if n format = x-
n = Left(n, Len(n) - 1)
For x = Int(n) To UBound(splitted) + 1 ' all tokens started from x
r = r & Chr(c) & splitted(x - 1)
Next
gettok = Mid(r, 2)
ElseIf Not Left(n, 1) = "-" Then ' if format not = x- and not -x it should be x-x
Dim splittedN
splittedN = Split(n, "-") ' split n to get x1 'n x2
For x = splittedN(0) To splittedN(1) ' all tokens from x1 to x2
r = r & Chr(c) & splitted(x - 1)
Next
gettok = Mid(r, 2)
End If
Else ' 1 token
gettok = splitted(Int(n) - 1)
End If
End Function
