The reason why I asked is you could use it to your advantage. Something like this: Dim item as String Dim strSql As New stringbuilder() strSql.append("DoThis '") For Each item In Request.form("str") if item == "," then strsql.append("','") else strsql.append(item) endif Next Then use the Left function to truncate off the trailing ",'" something like strsql = strsql.Left(strsql.Length() -2) Basically using the knowledge that the thing is handing you comma delmited stuff you can use that comma to your advantage by using it as the delimiter. Whenever we find a comma we stick in its place a quote comma quote ',' Any other time we just append the character we have. I don't have vb.net here but the end result should be pretty dern close to what you wanted. but then the way this one works, almost says to me there really an even easier way.... in memory its aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee in python i could easily turn that into a list of strings.
