Split function not working.....

Jay

So I'm writting this software that talks to an IRC server; and occasionaly
IRC servers send back data two lines at a time with lines breaks inside.
For my own sanity I had been using the split funciton to break these lines
down to seperate ones and then process the server commands etc. However
lately the split funciton seems incapable of finding chr(10)+chr(13) and
wont split the lines. When I dump the data to a text file however and open
it in notepad, notepad recognizes the lines and seperates them.

What is going on and how can I fix it?

A newline in Windows is chr(13) & chr(10) not the other way around.

Use the ControlChars.CrLf or ControlChars.NewLine constants.
