Question

I can have two cases of the string line.

string mystring =  "/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee"

and

string mystring2 = "aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eeee/"; 

Of course I can use a split by ‘/’ and do some checks, but I am looking for some elegant solution.

if i do mystring.Split(‘/’) it can be on 2nd or 3rd position in array, how do I know where it is?

How do I get ‘ccc’ ?

THanks!

Answer 1

You could do something like:

string mystring =  "/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee";
string mystring2 = "aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eeee/"; 

string[] result = mystring.Trim({'/'}).Split('/');
string[] result2 = mystring2.Trim({'/'}).Split('/');

Then, result and result2 would be the same.
