Question

I have a datatable dtRecords. It contains a column Token, which contains pipe- (|) separated values

e.g.

234|82|91
235|81|90
237|83|95
238|85|98

I want the output in another table say dtCompleteRecords with 3 columns a, b, c having corresponding values of the Token column of dtRecords.

Help would be appreciated

Answer 1

try this:

 var dtCompleteRecords = new DataTable("CompleteRecords");
 dtCompleteRecords.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("a", typeof(string)));
 dtCompleteRecords.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("b", typeof(string)));
 dtCompleteRecords.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("c", typeof(string)));


dtRecords.AsEnumerable()
    .Select(row => row["Token"].ToString().Split('|'))
    .ToList()
    .ForEach(array => dtCompleteRecords.Rows.Add(array));
