In C#, the split method is used to separate a string into multiple substrings based on a specified delimiter. Typically used as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Split the string into an array of strings based on the specified delimiter.<\/li>\n
  2. You can specify multiple delimiters, or use an array of strings as delimiters.<\/li>\n
  3. You can specify the maximum number of splits to limit the number of splits.<\/li>\n
  4. You can specify to ignore white space characters when splitting.<\/li>\n
  5. You can use the StringSplitOptions enumeration to control whether empty strings are retained during the split.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The code example is provided below:<\/p>\n

    string<\/span> sentence = \"Hello,world\"<\/span>;\r\nstring<\/span>[] words = sentence.Split(','<\/span>);\r\n\/\/ words = {\"Hello\", \"world\"}<\/span>\r\n\r\nstring<\/span> sentence2 = \"apple,banana;orange\"<\/span>;\r\nstring<\/span>[] words2 = sentence2.Split(new<\/span> char<\/span>[] { ','<\/span>, ';'<\/span> });\r\n\/\/ words2 = {\"apple\", \"banana\", \"orange\"}<\/span>\r\n\r\nstring<\/span> sentence3 = \"one two three four five\"<\/span>;\r\nstring<\/span>[] words3 = sentence3.Split(new<\/span> char<\/span>[] { ' '<\/span> }, 3<\/span>);\r\n\/\/ words3 = {\"one\", \"two\", \"three four five\"}<\/span>\r\n\r\nstring<\/span> sentence4 = \"apple, ,banana, ,orange\"<\/span>;\r\nstring<\/span>[] words4 = sentence4.Split(new<\/span> char<\/span>[] { ','<\/span> }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);\r\n\/\/ words4 = {\"apple\", \"banana\", \"orange\"}<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
