help splitting a string

[Mike Bishop]

I have a string 17:55:88

I want to split this up into the three sections and store them in varibles.
IE I would like to have the 88 stored in a varible the 55 in a varible and the 17 in a varible.

the following code does what i want, but i dont know how to put the results into their own varibles.
if someone could help thats would be most helpfull

     Dim words As String() = _INTime.Split(New Char() {":"c})

        ' Use For Each loop over words and display them
        Dim word As String
        For Each word In words
            MsgBox(word)
        Next

or if you can think of a better way to split this string please let me know.

I don't understand. You don't know how to use an array?

Dim First, Second, Third as string

if words.GetLength(0) = 3 then

    First = words(0)
    Second = words(1)
    Third = words(2)

end if

ps

How did your HideSplashScreen situation go?

Dim tokens() As String = "17:55:88".Split(":")

This will give you an array with indices from 0 to 2 where

tokens(0) = "17"
tokens(1) = "55"
tokens(2) = "88"
