How to Split an array element in half - VB.Net?

Question

I am trying to split an array into bits for example.

customername(0) = John Collins      -   i want to split that so that 

customerFname(0) = John   and    customerLname = Collins

I can find plenty of examples of how to split strings into an array but no suggestions of how to split an array into another array.

Can someone help me with this?

Dim i As Integer = 0
	Dim fnames As String()
 	Dim lnames As String()

        ' Loop through each line in array returned by ReadAllLines
        Dim line As String
        For Each line In File.ReadAllLines("example.txt")

            ' Split line on blank space
            Dim parts As String() = line.Split(New Char() {" "c})

            'Store first and last name separately in two arrays
            fnames(i) = parts(0)
	    lnames(i) = parts(1)
             
            i += 1
        Next line

Dim inputname As Array = {"John Collins"}
            Dim tempName As String = CStr(inputname(0))
            Dim fname As String = tempName.Substring(0, tempName.IndexOf(" "))
            Dim lname As String = tempName.Substring(tempName.IndexOf(" ") + 1, Len(tempName) - tempName.IndexOf(" "))

Dim something
something = split(customername(0), " ")

something(0)=first part
something(1)=second part
something(2)= third part

or if multiplys....

Dim MMM as integer
for mmm = lbound(something) to ubound(something)
textbox.text &=something(mmm) & vbcrlf
next
