walterf25 Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jul 13, 2014 #1 Hello all, i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on an issue i'm having, i need to split a response from a server at this character "|". The response from the server looks like this 1405231742050|http://www.someURL.com Click to expand... I've tried this code: Code: Copy Dim response() as string response = RegEx.Split("|", Job.GetString) the expected split string should be the following... response(0) should be timestamp (epochtime) and response(1) should be the URL Click to expand... but i'm not getting that response, i'm assuming that's because the PIPE character "|" is a reserved charcter in the Regular Expressions. Is there a way to go around this problem, does anyone have any suggestion, it is really late here, so i might just be chasing my own tale, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Walter
