Im interested in getting the values of token and chart.

I thought of using split() and load things in an array but it would be two different values to look for not easy.

Does anybody have any suggestion or can point me to an article I can read. Google hasn't been much help.

Thanks

You are in the right direction. You would need to do split() few times. First with "?" this will device the url from the querystring. Then on the querystring you will do another split() with "&" which will give you

token=wpLJXBWvloRJFKWY7UhAWSAJT4fHOW4dzLniQSkYRuTtvrq7rbugLvc%2f8FI%3d
chart=dLmvQiUSZQwaFHcfu1seUlOjAoKNfqEJyTF%2bRvkgv3mpHJynG3P5S1VjjTpPwMSJPLfDNTLbE0i8vdDU

now either you can processed with another split or since your know your syntex you can use string manipulations.

Solution 2

Dim WordArray,WordArray1

WordArray=Split(TheUrl,"?")
WordArray=Split(WordArray(1),"&")  'Get two parameter expression

WordArray1 = Split(WordArray(0),"=")
token = WordArray1(1)

WordArray1 = Split(WordArray(1),"=")
chart = WordArray1(1)
