array. like i have the word "hellO" and want the h to be myvariable(1),
the e myvariable(2) the l myvariable(3) and so on... can i read out text
box positions? like textbox.capture.position.1 or somehow like this??

re: help for newbi neede

I'm going to make an inherited textbox that has the method capture just
because you put it here. =)

Actually, Textbox.Text is of type String

So you can just use

Dim myArray() as String

myArray = textbox.text.toCharArray

Don't know if I got it, but I think the Chars property of a string returns
the char at the given position.

I think it's better to use a character array for this purpose:

\\\
Dim achr() As Char = Me.TextBox1.Text.ToCharArray()

Hi Coffee,
Because there are so many answers, the string itself was (and is) one of the
first arrays, but mostly we don't think about it in that way.
It is an array of characters.
