Question

I have a string “4,6,8\n9,4”

I want to split this based on ,and \n

Output array should be

4
6
8
9
4

Edit :

Now i am reading string from console , when i enter a string as above in console , in the code behind i get as "4,6,8\\n9,4" . Now that i want to split using "," and "\\n" . How can i change the expression ?

Answer 1

Use string.Split(char [])

string strings = "4,6,8\n9,4";
string [] split = strings .Split(new Char [] {',' , '\n' });

EDIT

Try following if you get any unnecessary empty items. String.Split Method (String[], StringSplitOptions)

string [] split = strings .Split(new Char [] {',' , '\n' }, 
                                 StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

EDIT2

This works for your updated question. Add all the necessary split characters to the char [].

string [] split = strings.Split(new Char[] { ',', '\\', '\n' },
                                 StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
