C#, a String's Split() method

Question

C#, a String's Split() method, how can I put the resulting string[] into an ArrayList or Stack?

Answer 1

You can initialize a List with an array (or any other object that implements IEnumerable). You should prefer the strongly typed List over ArrayList.

List<string> myList = new List<string>(myString.Split(','));

Answer 2

string[] strs = "Hello,You".Split(',');
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
al.AddRange(strs);

Answer 3

Or if you insist on an ArrayList or Stack

string myString = "1,2,3,4,5";
ArrayList al = new ArrayList(myString.Split(','));
Stack st = new Stack(myString.Split(','));

Answer 4

If you want a re-usable method, you could write an extension method.

public static ArrayList ToArrayList(this IEnumerable enumerable) {  
  var list = new ArrayList;
  for ( var cur in enumerable ) {
    list.Add(cur);
  }
  return list;
}

public static Stack ToStack(this IEnumerable enumerable) {
  return new Stack(enumerable.ToArrayList());
}

var list = "hello wolrld".Split(' ').ToArrayList();
