Question

 /* string fecha_act = DateTime.Now.ToString("d/MM/yy"); */
date_act = "10-12-12"  
string[] splitting = date_act.Split('-');

foreach (string split in splitting)
{
    MessageBox.Show(split);
}

The above code shows a date in a string. That string will be splitted into three parts.
Said that, I need to save the three parts in three differents strings.

string day_act;
string month_act;
string year_act;

I’ve tried to doing it with a counter and a switch, but it doesn’t work.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Wouldn’t this work? It’s so straightforward I suspect you’ve tried it already.

day_act = separando[0];
month_act = separando[1];
year_act = separando[2];

Edit

So you want alternate methods to Split? Here are some:

• Use a variation of the DateTime.Parse method (as mentioned in other answers).

• Use a regular expression.

  var match = Regex.Match(date, @"(?<day>\d+)-(?<month>\d+)-(?<year>\d+)");
  day_act = match.Groups["day"].Value;
  month_act = match.Groups["month"].Value;
  year_act = match.Groups["year"].Value;
