HELP on Strings

I need some help.
I've tried a lot of stuff but just don't seem to be able to solve my problem

I have a rather long string, i want it to be divided every 8 words into a new line.

I've tried substringing, tried cutting the string into 8 word array strings. but that didn't work to good. so PLEASE if someone can help me

Find a common delimiter, and if one doesn't exist, CREATE ONE in the first step.

If it does, skip first step, and SPLIT on that character into ARRAY().

Then, choose 8 and combine into one.

Thank you very much it works now this is what i did.

Code:

---

'Adding the ParamArray Seperator
Const charNumber = 8
        Dim oldString = userinput.text
        Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
        For i As Integer = 0 To oldString.Length - 1
            If i Mod charNumber = 0 Then
                sb.Append("/"c)
            End If
            sb.Append(oldString(i))
        Next
        Dim newString = sb.ToString()

 'The Split
        Dim s As String = newString
        Dim words As String() = s.Split(New Char() {"/"c})
        Dim part As String
        For Each part In words
          Output. text = Output.text & vbNewLine & part
        Next

THis doesn't work, exactly how i want it. It doesn't Split the words it splits the chars

Try searching. First hit:

Code:

---

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        ' We want to split this input string
        Dim s As String = "there is a cat"

        ' Split string based on spaces
        Dim words As String() = s.Split(New Char() {" "c})

        ' Use For Each loop over words and display them
        Dim word As String
        For Each word In words
            Console.WriteLine(word)
        Next
    End Sub

End Module

---

Notice words is the array. Word is the split output

Thanks, still it doesn't solve how i'm gunna let the ouput show 8 words on a line then a newline and then 8 words again, ect. ???
Must i take the array made at the split and make it add only 8 words to the string and then other 8 again?

And how am i gunna do it?

Thanks for the help. I got everything fixed.

This is my final code thats working

Code:

---

Dim i As Integer
              ' Split The string
        Dim s As String = userinput.text

        ' Split string based on spaces
        Dim words As String() = s.Split(New Char() {" "c})

        ' Use For Each loop over words and display them
        Dim word As String


        For Each word In words
            If i = 8 Or i = 16 Or i = 32 Or i = 40 Then
                output.text = output.text& vbNewLine
            Else
             
            End If
            i = i + 1
          output.text = output.text  & " " & word


        Next

Very good. But what if you have over 40 words???

Code:

---

Dim i As Integer
              ' Split The string
        Dim s As String = userinput.text

        ' Split string based on spaces
        Dim words As String() = s.Split(New Char() {" "c})

        ' Use For Each loop over words and display them
        Dim word As String


        For Each word In words
            If i = 8 Then
                output.text = output.text& vbNewLine
                i = 0
            Else
             
            End If
            i = i + 1
          output.text = output.text  & " " & word


        Next

Also, since you are building a new string, you might want to look into the "StringBuilder" object.

Yeah, you got a point there. thanks i'm changing the integer part.
