Question

I have this string in C# –

".... School||Abc\r\n...State||CA\r\n..."

The school and state are somewhere in the string. I need to parse the string in such a way that i get the values of School and State for my parameters

string school = abc (from String after parsing)
string state = CA (from string after parsing)

Answer 1

Try this:

string longStr = "School||Abc\r\nState||CA\r\n";
string[] keyValPairs = s.Split("\r\n".ToCharArray());
Dictionary<string, string> info = new Dictionary<string, string>();

foreach(string pair in keyValPairs)
{
   string[] split = pair.Split("||");
    //split[0] is the key, split[1] is the value
   info.Add(split[0], split[1]);
}

Now you can access what you need like so:

string school = info["School"];
string state = info["State"];

Where the longStr variable is just your long string that you start out with, not neccessarily what I set it to.
