Question

In my website I have a textbox that allow user to enter a group of numbers like this:

(118,38,137,15,156,14,157,36,152,49,142,57)

How can I store these numbers in an array like the following?:

[118    38    137   15    156    14    157    36    152    49    142    57]

Answer 1

Use the Split method:

yourString = yourString.Substring(1, yourString.Length - 2) ' Trim parentheses.
Dim result As String() = yourString.Split(","c)

The Split method has several overloads, depending on purpose. I’ve chosen the simplest here, that only takes a single Character argument, in this case ","c, a comma.
