Question

I’m doing simple string input parsing and I am in need of a string tokenizer. I am new to C# but have programmed Java, and it seems natural that C# should have a string tokenizer. Does it? Where is it? How do I use it?

Answer 1

You could use String.Split method.

class ExampleClass {     public ExampleClass()     {         string exampleString = 'there is a cat';         // Split string on spaces. This will separate all the words in a string         string[] words = exampleString.Split(' ');         foreach (string word in words)         {             Console.WriteLine(word);             // there             // is             // a             // cat         }     } }
