  string strName = test.Substring(0,9);

  string strDOB = test.Substring(11,10);

  Hi,
  
  
  
    You can split the string with space(' ') as following code :
  
  string test = "AMIT SINGH 1984-12-11";
  
  string[] strName = test.Split(' ');
  string name = strName[0] + " " + strName[1];
  string dob = strName[2];

  you can do it like this exactly :

  if you want to get from a textbox just replace the string full_name to the textbox.text

  string full_name,name,DOB,person_name;
         

  string[] member;
         

  full_name = "AMIT SINGH 1984-12-11";
         

  // you can enter any charcters you want to split with the newchar[]{ ' '})
         

  member = full_name.Split(new char[] { ' ' });
         

  name = "NAME = "+member[0].ToString()+" "+member[1].ToString();
        

    DOB = "DOB = "+member[2].ToString();
        

    person_name = name + " and " + DOB;

  hi,

  If that DOB format is fixed then try the following....

  string str="AMIT SINGH 1984-12-11";

  string pname=str.Trim().SubString(0,str.Length-10);

  int namelen=str.Length-10;

  string dob=str.Trim().SubString(namelen-1,10);

  Hope Helps U.......

  Dear amit You can do one thing if it is possible .

  if you create the string with this format AMIT SINGH : 1984-12-11

  Then you can easily read both information by the following code.

  dim strarr as string()
  dim name as string
  dim dob as string
  
  strarr="AMIT SINGH : 1984-12-11".split(":")
  
  name=strarr(0)
  dob=strarr(1)

  Hello,
