I’ve got an array like this: string[] parts = line.Split(‘,’); string store = parts[0];

I’ve got an array like this: 

string[] parts = line.Split(',');  string store = parts[0]; string sku = parts[1]; string subcatcode = parts[2]; string price = parts[3]; string date = parts[4]; string desc = parts[5];

I want description to equal the joined value of all the parts with an index of 5 or higher. Will this work or is there a better way to do it?

string desc = string.Join(',', parts.Skip(5).ToArray());

The issue is that the last part of the CSV I’m parsing can contain commas (parts 0-4 are guaranteed not to).

  1. Why not just specify a maximum count when you call Split? 

    string[] parts = line.Split(','.ToCharArray(), 6);

    The last element (which you will assign to description) will include everything else, including the commas.

    For data like '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8' this will give you { '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6,7,8' }
