splitting a string out to an array of strings

[BobRoyAce]

Let's say I have a string sItemString = "item1~item2~item3" and a string
array asItemArray[]. In the VB world, I could use the Split function as
follows: asItemArray = Split(sItemString, "~") to split out the individual
items in the string into separate elements of the array. How could I do this
in C#?

if you have

string sItemString = "item1~item2~item3"

try this

string[] columns = record.Split('~');

this will result in
columns[0] = item1
columns[1] = item2
columns[2] = item3

Try the String.Split() method.

 

[Samuel R. Neff]

Use the Split method.

itemArray = itemString.Split('~')

Sorry had the variable wrong. Try the following

if you have


string sItemString = "item1~item2~item3"


try this


string[] columns = sItemString.Split('~');


this will result in
columns[0] = item1
columns[1] = item2
columns[2] = item3

I believe the correct syntax here would be :
string[] columns = sItemString.Split(new char[] {'~'});

The Split method expects an array of char.

this will result in
columns[0] = item1
columns[1] = item2
columns[2] = item3

string[] columns = sItemString.Split('~');

I believe the correct syntax here would be :
string[] columns = sItemString.Split(new char[] {'~'});

The Split method expects an array of char.

But the parameter has the "params" modifier, so the two lines of code
above are equivalent.

It works even with '~'. I have a working code which does the following

string[] columns = record.Split('~')
