The output is simply "finished"

My clipboard is "C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\TopHatEngine\ENGINE\Utilities\Image Converter\Images;C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\chessrender.bmp;C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\glockUV.bmp;C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\gloveuv.bmp;C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\skintex.bmp;C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\texture_1.bmp"

(Wrote a program in VB.net that turns a list of selected files into clipboard data, where each item is separated by ";". The first item is the output folder)

What am I doing wrong?

Your problem is because you used <> for the check. Use only the > and it will run just fine.

@Ashingda
<> means not equal
> means greater than

So unless i'm missing something here, that will only make it worse...

@Mad Nightmare
Actually both would be doing the same thing as it is checking if it's anything other than "nothing".

@tgm4l
At first I had some trouble getting it to work, but now your code just works as it is. Maybe try running the given example and see if it changes anything, it did for me.

I agree. I copied string to clipboard and program ran just fine displaying each token.

Problem is probably more to do with vb proggy. Maybe not writing to clipboard properly. What do you get when you paste what you think is in your clipboard into notepad? What do you see in dbpro if your program simply writes out ClipboardData$

Boo!
