How to get the first value in textbox

Question

how can i get the first value in a text box and place it to a label. Example, I want to get the word "look" in the textbox that I input was "look like".

Answer 1

You could use substring, this will split the string or aka your textbox.

This takes two params, The starting index of the string and the 2nd param is the length. I have put str.indexof in the 2nd param to get the index of where the space is.

dim str as string
Label1.Text = str.Substring(0, str.IndexOf(" "))

This code is not tested, I only used visual basic for a little bit when i was 12.

Answer 2

you can simply split the value by " " space and take the first one from result array

if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(textBox1.Text))
{
lable1.Text = textBox1.Text.Split(" ").first();
}

Answer 3

textboxValue = Textbox.Text;
str = textboxValue.Split(" ").first();
