Get a value after a piece of text

[Moocow]

That's kind of a confusing thread title. What i need to do, is say, if TextBox1 contains "run C:/whatever.exe" when Button1 is pressed, how do i get the text after "run" and use it as a value, so it runs the directory entered after run?

Will it always be 'Run' ? if so use..

Dim MyStr as string = String.Substring(4)
 
 
System.diagnostics.process.start(mystr)

 

[Moocow]

How exactly do i implement this?

 

[vis781]

'Get the string from the textbox....
 
Dim MyStr as String = TextBox1.Text.Substring(4)
 
'Start the .exe
 
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Mystr)
