Answer 1

While I concur with the solution by @ie, I think that solution will overlook the problem of the number following the Entry #. In that case Regex.Split will work.

string[]  matches = Regex.Split(inputStrng, @"Entry #\d+\s+");
foreach (string match in matches)
{     
    Console.WriteLine(match);
}
