Question

Simple beginner exercise:

There’s an input box where you put in your name seperated by spaces, then get the first letter from the first and last name and out put it to a label

I.e (Joe Bob) = JB

---

I know this could be done with an array, but the exercise is more to using string functions like substring, IndexOf, Remove, Replace etc…

Answer 1

You can try using the SubString and Split Methods.

 Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Dim myInitials As String
    Dim myName As String = "Joe Bob"
    myInitials = myName.Substring(0, 1) & myName.Split(" ")(1).Substring(0, 1)
End Sub
