Split on tab character

[Robert Strickland]

I need to split on the tab character found in a string. What is used for the
character?

Imports System.IO

Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim reader As New StreamReader("c:\filename.txt")

Dim oneLine As String = reader.ReadLine()
While Not oneLine Is Nothing
Dim vals() As String = oneLine.Split(vbTab)

'Do something interesting with the array of strings
Dim s As String
For Each s In vals
Console.WriteLine(s)
Next

oneLine = reader.ReadLine()
End While
End Sub
End Module

Dim str As String = "This contains a" & vbTab & "Tab"

MessageBox.Show(str.Split(ControlChars.Tab)(0))
MessageBox.Show(str.Split(ControlChars.Tab)(1))

hope that helps..

What is used for the character?

'ControlChars.Tab' or 'vbTab'.
