Thanks again for your help with my original problem guys, I have another question on the same sort of thing though...
How can I make it so that another character is a deliminator acting as a string splitter?
So, i.e. How could I make it so that the string "11AB&22AB&33AB" can become three strings "11AB", "22AB", "33AB", using the "&" part of the original string as a splitter to determine the seperations required?
