Parse a text string
Hi all. I need to parse a string I read from the INI file or the Registry. I know how to parse a pathname, but I haven't found in the help and on this forum, how I can parse another text string. Any help is appreciaeted, since I'm really stuck.

Re: Parse a text string
Hi, I need to do this all the time.
This is just one example:
ALBANIAN=SQ;INDO-EUROPEAN (OTHER);0;
I need the 3 parts; In this INI string, they are separated from each other by a semi column ;
Another example:
1=WT -- Wrong Term ;5;2;
I need the 3 parts; In this INI string, they are separated from each other by a semi column ;On top of that I will need to split the first part in 2 as well ( at the -- separator)
thanks
