small problem

[snouto]

hi all. I just need to ask one question ! how can split the incoming string into string array by finite small string i know that split method for normal string can split the string into string array but with specific character not exceed one character like the following -------------------------------------- using System; namespace snouto { class stringargs { static void Main(string[] args) { string string1 = "hi#thatisme#yeah"; //here if i splitted the current string //using split method it will split it by //character # like char[] splitters = {'#'}; string[] separated = string1.split(splitters); } In the above code i split my string into string array using # character format but if i want to split my string by using another string like "snouto" in tha above string string string1 = "hisnoutoThatismesnoutoYeah"; how can i split the above string using snouto which repeated inside the string Please help Miss With The Best And Die Like The Rest

AFAIK, there is no predefined method for what you want to do. You have to explicitly loop through the characters in the string and split them. Off the top of my head,

string[] Split(string text, string separator)
{
ArrayList splitStrings = new ArrayList();

int index = -1;
int prevIndex = index;
while ((index = text.IndexOf(separator, prevIndex)) != -1) // while we have separators
{
// Split from previous found position to current position
splitStrings.Add(text.Substring(prevIndex, index-prevIndex));
prevIndex = index + separator.Length;
}
return (string[]) splitStrings.ToArray(typeof(string));
}

string[] StringSplit(string input, string sep)
{
const char S = (char)255;
return input.Replace(sep, S.ToString()).Split(S);
}

Instead you can rely on more popular regular expressions. try this... //add this to the using section at the top of the class using System.Text.RegularExpressions; string original = "hisnoutoThatismesnoutoYeah"; Regex reg = new Regex("snouto"); //"snouto" or what ever string[] splitStrings = reg.Split(original); Using Regular Expressions is comparatively faster that any other operations directly on strings Hope this helps!!!
