Split can take multiple separators.  Try something like this:-

   DIM s1 AS String
   DIM Bits AS String[]
   DIM s AS String

   s1 = "name[0]=Marcus"

   Bits = Split(s1, "[]=")

   FOR EACH s IN Bits
     Message("Bit = " & s)
   NEXT

This produces four Message boxes on Gambas 1.0.13,
   1 -> "name"
   2 -> "0"
   3 -> ""
   4 -> "Marcus"

Maybe Benoit can tell us why the 3rd. one is blank :)

Mike.
