Is this still just me : c# string split and join
-
Just written some code which needed converting an array to a string and back, and was like WTF. to split a string into an array
var joined_str = String.Join(",", my_array);
cool. To split a string into array:
var my_array = joined_str.Split(',');
Split only really wants a char, and Join only wants a string. Why can't this two things not get along. Maybe just me and some outof date c#.net :(

Usually splitting a string by just a char makes sense, however you should look at the method signature, it's actually not a
char:public String[] Split(params char[] separator);
(One of several array overloads) Joining by a string makes tons of sense. For example, joining by CRLF.

You don't mention why those two don't work well together, but could that overused three letter keyword be what obscures the actual problem?

BTW, I have a persistent string parser article I wrote in 2008. It might give to a starting point for rolling your own code. Keep in mind that I wrote this when I was just starting out in .Net, so refactoring it might be a good call. Persistent String Parser[^]

I am struggling to understand why you need to convert array to string, and then back to array?
To be sure, to be sure... ;)

It's talking to a COBOL service. ;P

You can write an extension method for

Not sure what you mean by "only really". :) It also accepts an array of
charseparators. But I wish it also had an overload that accepted a string that was interpreted as a set ofchars. It's much easier to type. /raviMy new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Am I missing something? There's an overload, albeit an ugly one:
string s = "Rob and Bob and Clob";
var z = s.Split(new[] {" and "}, StringSplitOptions.None);Regards, Rob Philpott.

Joinbefore, and after looking it up, it doesn't do the same thing as split, so my original response is crap. Join concatenates strings together, while split breaks a string up based on a delimiter character.".45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly" - JSOP, 2010
