Question

I’m trying to get an int[] from the following string. I was initially doing a Regex().Split() but as you can see there isn’t a definite way to split this string. I could split on [a-z] but then I have to remove the commas afterwards. It’s late and I can’t think of a nice way to do this.

"21,false,false,25,false,false,27,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false"

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Split on the following:

[^\d]+

You may get an empty element at the beginning if your string doesn’t begin with a number and/or an empty element at the end if your string doesn’t end with a number. If this happens you can trim those elements. Better yet, if Regex().Split() supports some kind of flag to not return empty strings, use that.
