Well, string is not the same as string :wink:

string is a string. A collection of characters.

string is a string array. A collection of strings.

string.Split returns a collection of strings rather then a single string. (splitted on whatever you provide as argument).

You are getting the right idea by using the [0] etc. behind it, but you placed that at the wrong place. Because string is actually a collection of characters. This line:

GoldText.text = Login.text.Split(","[1]);

actually says split login on the second character of this string: “,”. (Split allows you to provide a character instead of a string as argument so this is valid according to the compiler) Now it is true that “,” only has one character and this would actually create a indexoutofrange exception r something similar if it were to compile in the first place :wink:

What you want to do is this instead:

GoldText.text = Login.text.Split(",")[1];

Which says, split on “,” and then result number one.

You obviously have to do that for every string.Split in there.
