Reading textarea comtent from a form - ASP / Active Server Pages

Toni

I want users to submit text in a textarea form, and the information is submitted one
line at a time.

When they submit the form, it will go to an ASP script. How do I parse the textarea form
submission, line-by-line? What is the delimiter between the lines? Am I looking for
vbcrlf?

Thanks so much,

Toni

Dim arrTXT
Dim intTXT
Dim strTXT
strTXT = Request.Form("textarea_name")
arrTXT = Splir(strTXT,vbCrLf)
For intTXT = 0 To UBound(arrTXT)
If Trim(arrTXT(intTXT)) <"" Then
Response.Write "<li>" & arrTXT(intTXT) '... or whatever ...
End If
Next
