Question

if I have this path A/B//C
I want to extract A,B,C
I was thinking about store index of /,// and extract the values based on the indexes but this create a problem for me since // does not have a single index

/ -- index(1)
/ -- index(3)
/ -- index(4) 


    for (int index = 0; index <= path.Length; index++)
    {
            if (path[index] == '/')
            {
                pathIndex[index] = index;
                pathChar[index] = "/";
                Console.WriteLine("Index {0} char{1}", pathIndex[index], pathChar[index]);

            }              

    }

but if there is another way which would be shortest and better. I want to know
any effort will be strongly appreciated

Answer 1

var input = "A/B//C";
var splitted = input.Split(new[] { '/' });
for (var idx = 0; idx < splitted.Length; ++idx)
    Console.WriteLine("Index={0} Value={1}", idx, splitted[idx]);

If you dont want empty values inside splitted, pass StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries to String.Split.
