Question

I have a string "mystring theEnd" but I want to do a string.Split on white space, not just on a space because I want to get a string[] that contains “mystring” and “theEnd” between “mystring” and “theEnd” there is an unknown amount of spaces, this is why I need to split on whitespace. Is there a way to do this?

How about:

string[] bits = text.Split(new[] {' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptEntries);

(Or text.Split specifying the exact whitespace characters you want to split on, or using null as Henk suggested.)

Or you could use a regex to handle all whitespace characters:

Regex regex = new Regex(@"\s+");
string[] bits = regex.Split(text);
