option base

[bob engler]

I am doing a "Fields = split(buf, " ") but I want the first field found
to go into Fields(1) not Fields(0). I have declared "Option Base 1" at
the start of my subroutine.

Any ideas or help?

Thanks

How about adding a space to the front of the string?

Fields = Split(" " & Buf, " ")

Split always starts from element zero. The only way I can see to do what you
want is this (if you are using a dynamic array, declare its lower bound as
zero)...

Fields = Split(" " & bug, " ")

and then simply ignore element zero.
