Split the data in the textbox by space... and then trim the extra characters... so something like:

parts = split(textbox1.text, " ")
rlname = parts(0)
rfname = parts(1)
rmname = parts(2)
label1.caption = rlname
label2.caption = rfname
label3.caption = rmname

You may want to do some error checking and exception handling... but meh.

sir comatose i have a problem how can i delete the camma? and the period in middle name?

Member Avatar for debasisdas

you need to use the function REPLACE.

Member Avatar for Comatose

replace will work, and is more efficient than using left$().

how sir?

Member Avatar for cguan_77

with the code of Comatose and advise of Debasisdas ..
combining both will help to ease your problem..
here is it..

Private Sub Command1_Click()

parts = Split(Text1.Text, " ")
rlname = parts(0)
rfname = parts(1)
rmname = parts(2)
rlname = Replace(rlname, ",", "")
rmname = Replace(rmname, ".", "")

Label1.Caption = rlname
Label2.Caption = rfname
Label3.Caption = rmname
End Sub
