Remove string after white space

[Illufox]

I'm trying to remove the last name from a full name record to create a greeting that says "Welcome Tim" instead of "Welcome Tim Sutter". I was not able to find code for this on the internet. Is this possible?

Say you have a string with their name in, you could simply split the string into an array using space for the delimeter:<%@ language="VBscript" %>
<% option explicit %>
<%

dim username
username="John Q. Public"

username = Split(username, " ", -1, 1)

response.write "Hi " & username(0)

%>

Excellent! This does the job very well! I had to adjust it a little like that:

Welcome
<%
Dim Greeting
Greeting = Session("FullName")
Greeting = Split(Greeting, " ", -1, 1)
Response.Write Greeting(0)
%>
, what would you like to do today?

Thanks a bunch!!!! :D

Might be better to write it a bit more like this:<%
Dim Greeting
Greeting = Session("FullName")
Greeting = Split(Greeting, " ", -1, 1)
Response.Write Greeting(0)
%>
Welcome <%= Greeting(0) %>, what would you like to do today?That way you can keep the bulk of the ASP separate from the greeting.

Good idea but the one line needs to be removed in this case:

Response.Write Greeting(0) :)

Happy to help. :)

another way to do this

left(Session("FullName"),instr(Session("FullName")," "))

didnt test it but that should be pretty close. instead of using an array.
