I'm using the common dialog control to allow the user to select multiple files. The resulting selections are stored in the control's FileName property and are separated by a space!.

Now is it me or does this make for extra coding to retrieve the individual files? Imaging this scenario - the user selects a folder with spaces in the name and furthermore, has selected files with spaces in the names.

How do I accurately parse this string to get each filename without having to check each character looking for spaces, periods, etc.?

Here is an example:

C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\My Documents db1.mdb Default.rdp test.zip MY LIST.doc

All help is greatly appreciated.

Mike
