I can see that the key to my solution is the method Split (new to me). Thank you very much.

>>My title is not very clear so I will explain what I am looking for. I have an XML file that my ASP.NET application reads into a dataset. One of the columns of the dataset has a string of the following format (examples):
>>"1,3,29"
>>"2"
>>"4,5,1"
>>That is the string contains number(s) separated by commas (btw, if the answer to my question involves changing the separator from comma to something different, I can do it).

>>iNumber = 3
>>cString = "2,4,12"
>>If (iNumber = Withint( cSring))

>>Any suggestions on how to compare the number (iNumber) to the content of the string? TIA.
