How to split a string with multi-character delimiter in vb - asp.net?

Question

Hi,

How should I split a string separated by a multi-character delimiter in VB?

i.e. If my string is say - Elephant##Monkey, How do I split it with "##" ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use Regex.Split.

string whole = "Elephant##Monkey";
string[] split = Regex.Split(whole, "##");
foreach (string part in split)
    Console.WriteLine(part);

Be careful however, because this isn't just a string, it's a complete Regular Expression. Some characters might need escaping, etc. I suggest you look them up.

Answer 2

Dim words As String() = myStr.Split(new String() { "##" }, 
                                        StringSplitOptions.None)

Answer 3

here in VB.NET

Dim s As String = "Elephant##Monkey1##M2onkey"
Dim a As String() = Split(s, "##", , CompareMethod.Text)

ref : msdn check the Alice and Bob example.

Answer 4

    Dim s As String = "Elephant##Monkey"
    Dim parts As String() = s.Split(New Char() {"##"c})

            Dim part As String
    For Each part In parts
        Console.WriteLine(part)
    Next
