The example shown below shows a program which takes a part data string as its input and splits out the part number, part name, and part count.

Function SplitPartData(DataIn$ As String, ByRef PartNum$ As String, ByRef PartName$ As String, ByRef PartCount As Integer)

    PartNum$ = Left$(DataIn$, 10)

    DataIn$ = Right$(datain$, Len(DataIn$) - pos)
    pos = Instr(DataIn$, ",")

    PartName$ = Mid$(DataIn$, 11, 10)

    PartCount = Val(Right$(dataIn$, 5))
