Literal character in C#

Question

I want to compile my C# code. I was parsing a string by "....",

string[] parts = line.Split(new[] { '....' }, 2);

Then I got an error:

Too many characters in character literal

The line looks like this:

abc....  starting word in english

I think that I need to convert .... to =. Then everything would work fine. Is there any other way?

Answer 1

You can only split by char by passing a single character: '.'.

Split using string instead:

string[] parts = line.Split("....", 2);

Answer 2

Try using the Split method:

string[] parts = line.Split("....", 2, StringSplitOptions.None);
