Splitting a string array to seperate variables

[JeffM]

Quick C# question:
I have comma delimited values in a string array that I want to pass to
seperate variables. Any tips on splitting the array?

Thanks in advance!

First thing that comes to mind is the string Split method:

string csv = "1,2,3,4";
string [] numbers = csv.Split(",".ToCharArray());

Here is the MSDN docs and samples to do this:

If you also want to split quoted fields and/or ignore multiple delim in a
row, check out:

Wow, that's a pretty cool script.
Although I am generating test files out of Excel, so spacing and
formatting should be OK, this is very nice to allow commas in the input
string itself.
Thanks much
