Question

I want to take a string from a textbox (txtFrom) and save the first word and save whatever is left in another part. (the whatever is left is everything past the first space)

Example string = “Bob jones went to the store”

array[0] would give “Bob”
array[1] would give “jones went to the store”

I know there is string[] array = txtFrom.Split(' '); , but that gives me an array of 6 with individual words.

Answer 1

Use String.Split(Char[], Int32) overload like this:

string[] array = txtFrom.Text.Split(new char[]{' '},2);
