delimited string test

[rodchar]

hey all,
let's say you have a delimited string value of

String value = val1,val2,val3;

and you do something like the following

String s = value.split(',')[3];

just make it an empty string and proceed?

thanks,

string[] values = value.split(',');
string s = values.Length > 3 ? values[3] : "";

string[] parts = myStr.split( new char[]{','});
string d = ( index < parts.Length ) parts[index]: "";
