Forgive me but i have a noob question, I cant seem to get my head around.

I have a textbox.text string as "111.1, 22.2, 3333.3, 444.44"

What I want to is extract the numbers which may be random lengths, but all separated by a comma to

dim i1st number as Integer
dim i2nd number as Integer
dim i3rd number as Integer
dim i4th number as Integer


I know how to search for one instance of a string in a string but taking the 1st part to the comma, then the next comma and so on is confusing me. So any help or advice is appreciated big time.

VB.NET:
        Dim SearchTxt As String
        Dim lastIndex As Integer
        Dim textEnd As Integer = txtDataReceived.TextLength
        Dim index As Integer = 0

        SearchTxt = "OK,"                                                       'Search for "OK," and act upon it
        lastIndex = txtDataReceived.Text.LastIndexOf(SearchTxt)                 'Find it
        If lastIndex <> -1 Then                                                 '-1 if empty, 1 if found
            Thread.Sleep(500)
            txtDataReceived.Text = ""                                           'Delete from txtDataReceived.text
        End If

        SearchTxt = "a"                                                         'Search for a and act upon it
        lastIndex = txtDataReceived.Text.LastIndexOf(SearchTxt)                 'Find it
        If lastIndex <> -1 Then                                                 '-1 if empty, 1 if found
            Thread.Sleep(500)
            txtDataReceived.Text = ""                                           'Delete from txtDataReceived.text

        EndiF
