I am working on an algebra calculator. I want to be able to get each of the Characters on either side of the delineator saved as strings.

Example: 5x=2*63
string 1 = x
string 2 = 2.
THANKS. />


Below i have the code for splitting the problem at the equals sign.

  Dim chars As String() = TextBox1.Text.Split(New Char() {"="c})

You are using it wrong..

Dim foo As String = "5x=2*63"
Dim bar() As String = foo.Split("=")

Ok. I guess my code is

Dim whole As String = "5x=2*63"
Dim chars() As String = whole.Split("=")

but tha still doesnt give me a "x" string and a "2" string... Thanks.

Try This

        Dim whole As String = "5x=2*63"
        ' left character
        Dim string1 As String = whole.Substring(whole.IndexOf("=") - 1, 1)
        ' right character
        Dim string2 As String = whole.Substring(whole.IndexOf("=") + 1, 1)

        Dim whole As String = "5x=2*63"
        Dim chars() As String = whole.Split(CChar("="))
        Dim leftChar As Char = CChar(chars(0).Substring(chars(0).Length - 1))
        Dim rightchar As Char = CChar(chars(1).Substring(0, 1))

Bear in mind that I am just answering your question as stated, and it may not be suitable for what you REALLY want to do.

My question isn't what I REALLY want to do, just close enough for me figure out what to do. I wouldn't want you guys to ruin ALL of my fun. I will try these examples and let you guys know if I have any more questions. thanks.
