Hi na3em,

If you are getting the value like " 21/1/2009|1221|1" eveytime...
u can use array to get the value of userid

dim str as string=" 21/1/2009|1221|1"
dim arr() as string
arr=str.split("|")

Dim studentid as integer

studentid= arr[1]
Thus u can get ur requirement just by passing the required index ......


If this post helps please click this post is helpful for u...

Cheers.

and just incase you are using C#, here is the conversion of ankurwase's code...

string str = "21/1/2009|1221|1";

string[] arr = str.Split(new char[]{ '|' });

int studentID = int.Parse(arr[1]);

look the" 21/1/2009|1221|1 "is not constant it changes by every student every student has an differnet expiry date and diffrent id what i need is the id which is for ex is 1221 to press a button that read all info about the student ......

as long as the data is in the same format, date|id|semester code with the line being a separator, it doesn't matter what the data actually is. Our code will give you the student ID(no matter what it is) as long as the format stays the same.

If the format is not going to be the same, then it's going to be a lot tougher. For example, if your data could possibly be "1|1221|21/1/2009" or "1221|1|21/1/2009", then you are going to have a lot more work ahead of you.
