How to split and replace in VB.NET

i have an arugument like this
vXMLStream = YYYYMM="200502" ename="RAJ" age="23" sex="Male" category="Poor" edu_qualification="BBA" community="SC" religion="HINDU" occupation="farmer" month_income="2000"
here i splited this and to stored in an array variable. for that i tried the following. Because here i want to replace occupation="farmer" this one array position alone alone.
and finally i want to concatenate all the array indexes and stored in the vXMLStream variable.
Dim sourceString As String = vXMLStream
Dim arrayOfStrings() As String = sourceString.Split(" ")
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("")
But Now once i print the data i am getting output like this
YYYYMM="200502"
ename="RAJ"
age="23"
sex="Male"
category="Poor"
edu_qualification="BBA"
community="SC"
religion="HINDU"
occupation="farmer"
Here i want to replace this (occupation="farmer" this is static one) finally i want to concatenate all the array indexes and stored in the vXMLStream variable.
please post solution for this post

If you mean that you want to replace the occupation "farmer" with a different occupation and then recombine the string, you can do it like this:

Dim sourceString As String = vXMLStream
Dim arrayOfStrings() As String = sourceString.Split(" ")
Dim newOccupation As String = "developer" ' say

For i As Integer = 0 To arrayOfStrings.Length - 1
If arrayOfStrings(i).StartsWith("occupation=") Then
arrayOfStrings(i) = "occupation=""" & newOccupation & """"
Exit For
End If
Next

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("")
vXMLStream = String.Join(" ", arrayOfStrings)
