i tried the following:

If Not Instr(strng$,"New test")=0
dot$=Instr(strng$,".")
name$=Instr(strng$,Left(strng,dot))
WB3D_AddGadgetItem(catagory,name$,0,0)
End If

but Instr() returns found or not found, how do i get a string out of it? in the above example, it looks like it finds the right thing alright i just need to figure out how to grab it.
