Returning Arrays from Methods

I'm not quite sure of how to do this and I haven't been able to find
much about it. I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

In a nutshell,: I would like to use a foreach loop to iterate through
an Array which is returned by a method,

foreach ( string groupName in MySplitterFunction(stringToSplit) )

Now, how do I write the method so it returns an Array? Can any one
provide a simple example?

Thanks in advance,

private string[] isGuilty()
{
string[] result = new string[]{"Of", "course", "Peterson", "is",
"guilty"};
return result;
}

Sure:

using System;

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
foreach (string name in GetNames())
{
Console.WriteLine (name);
}
}

static string[] GetNames()
{
string[] ret = {"Matthew", "Mark", "Luke", "John"};
return ret;
}
}
 
John,

Here is an example of a function:

public string[] getStrings(){
string[] strings = new string[]{"hey", "world!"};

return strings;
}

You just have to make sure that you are declaring the return type as an
array.

Thanks for the all the replies. They definitely hit the mark and
solved my problem. I have to make special mention of ShaneB's solution
though. Right on, ShaneB!

What does that have to do with politics? Anyway, it was merely a joke...I
just happened to be watching CourtTV when I replied.

Lighten up.
