Question

In C#

var parameters =
    from line in parameterTextBox.Lines
    select new {name = line.Split(' ').First(), value = line.Split(' ').Skip(1)};

Is there a way to do this without having to split twice?

Answer 1

you can store the split in a let clause

var parameters =
    from line in parameterTextBox.Lines
    let split = line.Split(' ')
    select new {name = split.First(), value = split.Skip(1)};
