I have a string variable that passes a string like this ABCD=JKL=POIKJNN How would I go about pulling out just the middle portion of the string (the JKL part)

Thanks in advance

Is the arrangement always the same (2– and only 2 equal signs)?

You can invoke Split with the delimiter "=", and just use the second element of the returned array.

You could locate the 1st "=" (.IndexOf()) and the second "=" (.LastIndexOf()) (storing their locations in variables, and then use the Mid function, or the string’s .SubString() function using those vars (and the appropriate "+ 1" and "- 1").

Or you could use a regular expression, which is what I recommend.
