VB.net new Line

[Gangreen]

I recieve a string, which consists of multiple lines, from a UDP connection.
(It's that java program I'm translating for those who have read my other topics)

Now, I need to split this string in seperate lines, but this does not seem to work.
In the java program "\n" is used as delimiter to split the string, but when I try to split (in the translated vb.net program) using VbNewLine it does not work. I also tried VbCr and VbCrLf...

I did an experiment: I used the InStr to see if VbNewLine or whatever is found in the string. Apparently none of them are found.

Are there more options to create new lines I haven't checked?

You could use .Split() on the string and supply the '\n' character as what to split on?

'\n' won't work in VB, will it?

Since you're working in .NET, you can assume ASCII values for characters. So do something like:

MyString.Split(Convert.ToChar(13))

No that won't work. (I tried anyway)
The "\n" is the equivalent of VbNewLine in java....

[Gangreen]

MyString.Split(Convert.ToChar(13))

InStr(myString, Convert.ToChar(13)) returns 0 ...

[Sick0Fant]

InStr(myString, Convert.ToChar(13)) returns 0 ...

Maybe they are carriage returns, in which case you'd use 10 instead of 13.

If that's not in the string, then I don't know how it's delimited.

Stop using InStr, start using .NET syntax.

mystring.IndexOf('\n') if that doesn't return a value >-1 then there is no \n's in there.

I have a theory on what might be happening. Your UDP is probably getting in a byte[] right? ( byte() whatever they call it in vb)
How are you converting it to a string?

Console.WriteLine("Index: " & queryResult.IndexOf(Convert.ToChar(10)))

prints out Index 80!
yes! It's carriage return apparently, thank you.

@Plater, Thanx for the help, but please explain why IndexOf is better than InStr?

[Plater]

It's an actual .NET function. If you're going to program in managed code (instead of vb6 for example) why not use it? Plus it's easier to read since it matches with other .NET code, so for future questions people won't have to decipher things like Mid(), InStr(), etc, etc.
