Multiple delimiters using Regex.Split in C#

Question

Let's say you need to split a string by various delimiters including newline (/r, /n) and a few other 'special' character strings.

For example:

This is a sample %%% text &&& that I would 
like to split %%% into an array.

I would like the following in the resulting string array (contents via index)

[0]This is a sample
[1]text
[2]that I would
[3]like to split
[4]into an array.

I would like to use C# Regex.Split() function. What is the regex expression to match on all of my delimiters?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I don't have this solution ready. You can create a class and compare against it. You may be served by:

Answer 2

%%%|&&& should do it.

Answer 3

Just FYI, the vanilla String.Split() method has an overload which accepts an array of strings to use as delimiters. Here's a link to MSDN's page describing it.
