Question

Hi & thanks for looking!

In C#, I have a string coming into a method that is delimited by a pattern like this:

some text ;#1;# some more text ;#2;# even more text

I would like to split the spring based on these patterns (;#1;#).

Is it possible to split based on multiple characters? If so, how would I handle for the number in the middle of the delimiter?

Note: In some cases, there may be a double or even tripple digit in the delimiter. For example, ;#10;# or ;#123;#.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

You can use Regex.Split(string s, string pattern) method. The pattern you need is ";#[0-9]+;#"

string[] parts = Regex.Split(
    "some text ;#1;# some more text ;#2;# even more text"
,   ";#[0-9]+;#"
);
