Programming Forums - Split String into individual characters

Hi,

I am trying to split a string into individual letters in VBScript.

str=text

i want to get back an array where:
a(0) = t
a(1) = e
a(2) = s
a(3) = t

there is:
a=split(str,"")
but it actually requires a character.. i have used other scripting languages where specifying "" means it will automatically split between every letter.. not helpful in this case.

The eventual script is to count how many UpperCase characters there are in a given string.

Cheers

So, i have this:
BUT, i have to enter input as:
t/E/s/t
instead of:
tEst

i want the latter.. any ideas please ?

<HTA:APPLICATION

<body>

<script type="text/vbscript">



txtInput=InputBox("Enter a string:")

txtUpper=UCase(txtInput)

document.write("Your Input was: " & txtInput & "<br />")



arNormal=Split(txtInput,"/",-1,1)

arUpper=Split(txtUpper,"/",-1,1)



For i=0 to UBound(arNormal)

        If StrComp(arUpper(i),arNormal(i)) = 0 Then intUpperChars = intUpperChars + 1

        If StrComp(arUpper(i),arNormal(i)) = -1 Then intLowerChars = intLowerChars + 1

Next



document.write("Total Uppercase Characters = " & intUpperChars & "<br />")

document.write("Total Lowercase Characters = " & intLowerChars & "<br />")
