Regex

[Dromar]

Hi everyone, I use Regex for splitting a string. Now i have 2 Questions: 1. I have e.g the string "something || anything && anotherthing" and I want to split it into string[3] ={ something, anything, anotherthing }; is there an easier way than to use 2 Regex like Regex("||") and Regex("&&") and split it first with one Regex and then each element with the other? 2. I have heard that when you split a string you can leave the splitsequence (like in the example before "||") to one of the stringsresults. How can I do that? Thanks for your help!

If you have the same delimiter between strings, then the easiest way is to use Split() method of string class.

string str = "aaa::bbb::ccc";
string[] splittedStrings = str.Split("::");

But, if the explression is more difficult, then Regex is a good solution

Why not just use the following regex: "( \|\| )|( && )" It finds either and can be used in your split. Hogan

Somehow that is not working... I tried Regex reg = new Regex("(\\|\\|)(&&)"); on string input = "something || anything && anotherthing"; but it isnt Spliting it even once :(

Try again with the correct string :) Regex reg = new Regex("( \|\| )|( && )"); Hogan

Oh there was an | between the brackets... Thanks a lot, and this also solves Question 2 :)
