How you use split function

[Bucky]

I use the Regex.Split() function, which allows you to split a string by a delimeter that

is not just a single character. For example, this splits the sentence into multiple words:

 

string[] words;
string text = "This is a test, yo.";
words = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(text, " ");

Just to expand on Bucky's sample, and as he mentioned you can split on a series of characters...In this case <test>

 

string[] words;

 

string text = "First Item<test>Second item<test>Third item<test>Forth item";

 

words = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(text, "<test>");

[Bucky]

Yeah, if you're just going to split by a single character, like in my example, you could

just use the String.Split() method:

 

string[] words;
string text = "This is a test, yo.";
words = text.Split(' ');
// In VB.NET this would be: words = text.Split(" "c)

[Robby]

In case anyone is wondering, the "c" at the end of text.Split(" "c) is simply to cast the character to char when have Option Strict On in your code page. (Which you all should)
