Split in c# w3schools

This article covers some different techniques for extracting parts of a string.

• Use the Split method when the substrings you want are separated by a known delimiting character (or characters).
• Regular expressions are useful when the string conforms to a fixed pattern.
• Use the IndexOf and Substring methods in conjunction when you don't want to extract all of the substrings in a string.

String.Split method

String.Split provides a handful of overloads to help you break up a string into a group of substrings based on one or more delimiting characters that you specify.

You can choose to limit the total number of substrings in the final result, trim white-space characters from substrings, or exclude empty substrings.

The following examples show three different overloads of . The first example calls the Split(Char[]) overload without passing any separator characters.

When you don't specify any delimiting characters, uses default delimiters, which are white-space characters, to split up the string.

As you can see, the period characters () are included in two of the substrings.
