Question

How do I split a string (response back from a non-standard Web Service) separated by “” (between quotes, that’s how it looks like in a browser or text file)? It is supposed to be a Hex 1F. In my code, if I split by “”, it works. I tried FieldSeparator = Hex(1F), 0x1F, nothing works (only “” which makes sense, I’m not looking to convert to decimal). It wouldn’t be so bad, but I also need to split by 1E and I haven’t been able to find one (to copy and paste and use in my code) yet. And I would also like to understand why 1F (“1” and “15” in hex) look like that… Thanks!!

Answer 1

you can use the chr function, see here for help to get the character.

dim array_var, input_string

array_var = split(input_string, CHR(&H1F))

I don’t know if you are familiar with the &H.. syntax, this is the VBScript equivalent of the 0x.. syntax in other languages.
