Question

Cant figure this out, why does this is spliting in 3 parts instead of 2?

myRichTextboxEx.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\nouicompat\deflang1043\deflangfe1043\deftab708{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Segoe UI;}{\f1\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Verdana;}{\f2\fmodern\fprq1\fcharset0 Lucida Console;}{\f3\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}}  {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue255;}  {\*\generator Riched20 6.3.9600}\viewkind4\uc1   \pard\nowidctlpar\sl276\slmult1\tx1276\tx2130\tx3124\f0\fs18           \f1\fs36\par    \pard\nowidctlpar\sl276\slmult1\tx3000\f2\fs17             Eemplein 20\line          3812 EA Amersfoort\line         {{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK www.kingoftheribs.nl }}{\fldrslt{www.kingoftheribs.nl\ul0\cf0}}}}\f2\fs17\line            033-8887088\par    \pard\nowidctlpar\sl276\slmult1\qc\tx3000\par    \pard\nowidctlpar\sl276\slmult1\tx3000\line B.J. van Logtestijn\line Prins Frederiklaan 57C   \line 3818KB \line Amersfoort\line T1:06=41191965 T2: T3:\line\b   \par  \fs30 Bon #1\line\b0\fs18\line\line\line 1 x Durum Chicken\tab       3,95 \line\line 1 x Turkse pizza (lamacun)\tab       1,95 \line\li

Dim SplitRTFmessage As String() = myRichTextboxEx.Rtf.Split("<CUTHERE>")
Was it helpful?

Solution

You are using the wrong overload (this one is expecting a Char not a String). The one you are looking for is:

Dim SplitRTFmessage As String() = myRichTextboxEx.Rtf.Split(New String() {"<CUTHERE>"}, StringSplitOptions.None)

This is the right way (one of the alternatives you have) to use a string as a separator and thus delivers the right result (2 parts).

OTHER TIPS

What's causing this is that the overload you're using for split is actually an array of characters and not a string. As a result, it's splitting on <.
