Split Long String by Character Place

[RadioRaiders]

I have a String with 15 places that I would like to split into 3 pieces: (First 3 digits), (next 3 digits), (remaining 9 digits).

How in VB2008 can I do that? Everything I have read so far indicates seperating by a certain character (ie: "," or " ") but no mention of character place. Seems like a simple thing, but after 2 hours of searching I'm still coming up empty

Use the Substring method of the String where you specify the index to start and length of capture. See help for more explanations and code samples: String Members (System)

Thanks! I was barking up the wrong tree with the "split". Should have been looking at the "substring". Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Learing can be a b!tch sometimes

dim test as string
test="123456789"
Dim MNC As String = test.Substring(3, 3)

returns "456"

firstThree = myString.Remove(3);
midThree = myString.Substring(3, 3);
lastNine = myString.Substring(myString.Length - 9);

Remove(length) is like LEFT
Substring(index, length) is like MID
Substring(stringLength - length) is like RIGHT
