I want to take a string in as:- (8 characters long)

Orgstr.text = var

I then want to Split this string(var) in two, with each sub string containing 4 characters.

Also does anyone know how to refernce a character in ascic?

a = "abcdefgh"
b = Mid(a, 1, 4)
c = Mid(a, 5, 4)
Print b, c

Will it allways be exactly 8 chars long?

if you have a variable length string then try this
a = "whate"
b = Mid(a, 1, len(a)\2)
c = Mid(a, (len(a)\2)+1)

Note to all:
Not use Mid, left or right function with string.
Try to use Mid$,Left$,Right$

Hehe...

I know but i allways forget ...;)

If you use the $ functions you gain ~30% Speed ....

Why a "B" grade?, didn't it solves your problem?

Sorry. It did solve the problem. I didn't know that made a difference

Sorry Glenelly22

He gets more Points for an "A" then for a "B"

Usually only give a B if there are some open issues. Give a C if its only a "very general" hint for what to use...
like :
"A": Use mid(mystring,5)

"B" : Use mid

"C" : Use string functions

Well kinda in this direction ;)
