Hi,
try this.

Private Sub btnConvert_Click()
Dim str As String
Dim char As String
List1.Clear 'ListBox used for displaying splitten characters.
str = Text1.Text 'TextBox used for getting i/p string
For i = 1 To Len(str) Step 1
char = Mid(str, i, 1)
If char <> " " Then
List1.AddItem char
End If
Next i
End Sub

the code works great but i ran into one problem how can i also exclude people from having enter in the text because when it loads over it puts a "|" and i can't just say exclude the symbol "|" because its not the same. i can ask the people to not have enter anywhere in the text but im sure that wont work

if i need a whole seperate statement to search the text and replace enter with a space or something

i'd appriacate anymore help
