Question

I have two dgvs and two buttons.
dgv1.rows[0].Cells[14].Value is (multiline):
r – red
wh – white
y – yellow
So, divider is not “-” but ” – ” (space line space)

btn1.Click should split this content so that each line go to separate row (dgv2 is not multiline) and so that left side of dividers go into Columns[0] and right side of dividers go into Columns[1]:
r red
wh white
y yellow
gd gold //user can add this row or delete some another (in dgv2, not in dgv1)

btn2.Click should join this content again and rewrite dgv1 (with the same divider)
Any idea, please?

Answer 1

Using Linq, you can take each line of multiline textbox and split by space and - then remove empty lines will give you list of items.

var list = textBox1.Lines.Select(s => s.Split(" -".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)).ToList();

if you want to join them again you can use string join as

var list2 = list.Select(s => string.Join(" - ", s)).ToList();
