    Reading TextBox info line by line

    I can import a .txt document into a TextBox

    Each line in the TextBox contains a URL, for example, http://www.whateverdomain.com

    I would like to convert each URL to the following format:
    <a href="http://www.whateverdom ain.com">http://www.whateverdom ain.com</a>

    Obviously I'm a dumb noob. I know how to convert a single line of text but can't figure out how to treat line-by-line, multiple entries in a TextBox.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

      Hi Gregory,
      Textbox control has Lines() property which returns all the lines
      located in textbox. So, you can convert all the lines (lines, which
      represent URLs) using with another array(myurlarr) as follows:

      ' Assuming you have pure URLs line by line in TextBox1
      ' The core of the job
      Dim myurlarr() As String
      myurlarr = TextBox1.Lines
      For x As Integer = 0 To myurlarr.Length - 1
      myurlarr(x) = "<a href=" & """" & TextBox1.Lines( x) & _
      """" & ">" & TextBox1.Lines( x) & "</a>"
      Next


      ' Optionally, you may want to see converted output
      For x As Integer = 0 To myurlarr.Length - 1
      MsgBox(myurlarr (x).ToString)
      Next

      I tested the code that i wrote and i hope it'll work for you,

          For Each S As String In Split(TextBox1. Text, vbCrLf)
          <process S>
          Next

              Thanks for that. It works great. I guess I need to learn more about arrays before I get too ambitious!
