using Split

[Mike P]

I am using Split to split get a number of items from a multi line text
box. But I need to be able to get the number of elements within the
text box (e.g. if the text box has 2,4,8 in it, I want to be able to
count that this text box has 3 elements entered into it). My code is
below :

for (int p=0; p < dgNational.Item s.Count; p++)
{
strQuantity =
((TextBox)dgNat ional.Items[p].FindControl("t xtAccount")).Te xt +"\r\n";

string strDelimiter = "/r/n";
char [] Delimiter = strDelimiter.To CharArray();

string [] strSplit = null;

for (int x=0; x <= 100; x++)
{
strSplit = strQuantity.Spl it(Delimiter, x);
}
if (strSplit.Lengt h != dgNational.Item s.Count)
{
lblErrorNationa l.Text = "Invalid number of accounts entered";
return;
}
}
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Mike

Mike,

You can use Split again on each of the lines that are returned. Then,
all you have to do is sum the total of the Length properties of the returned
arrays, and that should give you the number you need.

Hope this helps.
