Question

I need to split a string with a “variable sequence”..

For example, I have this string :

string myString="|1 Test 1|This my first line.|2 Test 2|This is my second line";

I need to get an array of strings with :

This is my first line
This is my second line.

And in the same time, the best of the best would be to get this:
|1 Test1|
This is my first line
|2 Test2|
This is my second line.

Any help?

You could use a regular expression to split the string e.g.

string str = "|1 Test 1|This is my first line.|2 Test 2|This is my second line.";
var pattern = @"(\|(?:.*?)\|)";
foreach (var m in System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(str, pattern))
{
    Console.WriteLine(m);
}

Just discard the first entry (as it will be blank)
