splitting string and putting each output into a unique variable in vbs

Question

I am trying to split a string simply by the spaces between each word within the string. I then want to put these different parts of the string into separate variables. How do I go about doing this? I have the following:

strOperatingSystem = “Microsoft Windows 7 Professional ”

strVendor = “”
strEdition = “”
strTitle = “”
strVersion = “”

I want the result to be.

strVendor = “Microsoft”
strEdition = “Windows”
strTitle = “Professional”
strVersion = “7”

`

Any help would be appreciated.

You Split the string at spaces and assign the individual fields of the resulting array to the respective variables.

strOperatingSystem = "Microsoft Windows 7 Professional"

arr = Split(strOperatingSystem)

strVendor  = arr(0)
strEdition = arr(1)
strTitle   = arr(3)
strVersion = arr(2)

While this might anser the question, please also provide a short explanation on what your code does and how it solves the initial problem.

I assumed something this basic would not require further explanation. Oh, well.
