turning string into an array?

[bushnellweb]

I want to turn a string into an array like so...

dim str1
str1 = "hello world"

arr1(0) = "h"
arr1(1) = "e"
arr1(2) = "l"
arr1(3) = "l"
arr1(4) = "o"
arr1(5) = " "
arr1(6) = "w"
arr1(7) = "o"

etc.... you get the point
I am trying to do this dynamically but for some reason i'm getting an error when i write

for i=0 to Len(str1)
     strTemp = Mid(str1, i, 1)
next

just assume i declared all those vars....any ideas? it doesnt seem to like my i variable in the Mid function

At no point do you seem to be taking the 1 character and putting it into one of the array indexes.

you take the 1 character and put it into a temp string - then do nothing with strTemp... so it's lost.

Of course this is a Convert method that will do this without the loop

sorry i didn't type all the code out...obviously I would have put strTemp into an array of letters, but the Mid() function didnt work within the loop using i as the start position. ANSWER:

       redim pieArr(3)
pieArr(0) = "pie1"
pieArr(1) = "pie2"
pieArr(2) = "pie3"


for each pie in pieArr
	Response.write(pie & "<br />")
next


dim strPie, pieArr2

strPie = "blueberry pie"

pieArr2 = Split(strPie)

Response.write(pieArr2(0))
Response.write(pieArr2(1))

The split() function does what I was looking for ... thanks for the help
