Ok Quick question.

This is for a final project thats due at the end of nov. for my VB class. So I though I would get a start on it.

Its going to be a simple program that takes the Name a user inputs and gives a Serial Number (both Letters and Numbers, Upper and Lower) that is based upon the users input. I can understand how to change each letter into a Number of Letter, but Its how I get the length of each word and change that into a serial that has at least two charactors for Each Letter inputted by user. So... Example..

User input = A
Output = 5z

or

User Input = Al
Output = 8sE2

ect..

What kind of Arrary if any do I need to complete and how would I call this?

Any help?

THanks!

It's a bit late now, but this would depend on what sort of algorithm you were using to create the serial string from the name.
