VBSCRIPT Split String

Question

How can I split a string using vbscript?

Dim personal_number
Dim personal_prefix

person_prefix = Split(personal_number, 4)

I want to split person_prefix and grab the first four characters. Is this the correct approach because it seems to return the entire string on document.write.

What if I want to grab '25' out of '10253940'. The numbers between 10 and 3940? — anonamas

I solved it by first doing a person_prefix = Left(personal_number, X) and then another Left or Right to grab what I want. — anonamas

To return the first four characters use person_prefix = Left(personal_number, 4) instead.

(String splitting breaks up a string into an array using a supplied delimiter: not relevant in your case).
