Need help here with vb net 2003

[87jerome]

I suck at programming and i have a few problems here. Hope some kind soul can save me

Firrst, i have a textbox to allow users to input related hyperlinks. Therefore, users are to enter the links lik this in the textbox.
http://www.yahoo.com,http://www.asp.net

However, when some1 clicks on the link, it appears http://www.yahoo.com,http://www.asp.net in the address bar. Can some1 teach me how to seperate this 2 sites so that it appears http://www.yahoo.com or just http://www.asp.net in the address bar?? How to seperate them?? The text box is a single line text box.

Secondly, the websites have to input with this format http://www.yahoo.com. can anyone tell me how to detect whether the user has input the website with the http:// in front or else prompt an error message?

I really am not so good at coding. If some1 can help me here, I'll b really thankful!

You should be able to use the "split" function of the String class. In this case your delimeter is the comma character, I think VB.NET does characters like "a"c rather than 'a' (yes that "c" is supposed to be there -- its pretty retarded)

Something like

dim links() as String = TextBox1.text.split(","c)

for each s as String In links
         If s.subString(0,7) != "http://" Then
                  MessageBox.show("Link: "+s+" is not properly formatted.")
         End If
Next
