I thought i was on the right track
but it seems i do not fully understand

I want to take

name$="Left Button"

break it town to two strings
so they can displayed over a button

methode one :
a$="Left"
b$="Button"

methode two:
have the program store the words to NM$[1]

so the program counts to and store until it find the space

so
NM$[1]="Left"
NM$[2]="Button"

if at a latter date i want to more than just two words
i want the program to be able to use the mid command
to break the senance i give it

i tried this code



I've reworked things a bit
i'm closer but it still got a bug in it

You may kick yourself, there's a lot of code in this example...

@BatVink

thanks

what i also found was adding in a extra space at the end of the of the last word

i saw the command but did not think it would be of help
i will try that


thanks for the help

i made a simple mistake and left out things should have been there

i still have to work out a aliment of the text on the button
but at least now it's working like i wanted it to
