This is probably a really basic question, but I can’t find any answers. I need to match a string by either two or more spaces OR an equals sign.

When I split this string: 9 x 13 = (8.9 x 13.4) (89 x 134)
with ( +) I get:

part 0: 9 x 13 = (8.9 x 13.4)
part 1: (89 x 134)

When I split it with (=) I get:

part 0: 9 x 13 
part 1:  (8.9 x 13.4)          (89 x 134)

How can split by BOTH? Something like: (=)OR( +)

Edit:
This does not work(=)|( +), I was expecting:

part 0: 9 x 13 
part 1: (8.9 x 13.4)
part 2: (89 x 134)

    Your regex should have worked, except it would leave the spaces that were before and after the =. That’s assuming you really did use two spaces in the ( +) part (which got normalized to one space by SO’s formatting). This one yields the exact result you said you want:

    @" {2,}|\s*=\s*"
