No, you didn't really...

guest, if the input is coming from a source that you do not have control over, (say, a database) you will probably want to use "stringreplace"

it reads only hello and what comes after ; is ignored ..its commented out

please post the exact code you're working with, it's much easier to help you if we do not have to guess.

Input := "Hello ; World" ; this should work.

I never understood why people say RTFM. That seems to be a bit rude. There is no need to be rude when someone doesn't understand something that is a completely legitimate reason to not understand.

Why can't we change it to RTM instead?
