Splitting a string in C#

Question

I am trying to split a string in C# the following way:

Incoming string is in the form

string str = \"[message details in here][another message here]/         


        

Answer 1

Instead of using a regex you could use the Split method on the string like so

Split(new[] { '\n', '[', ']' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

You'll loose [ and ] around your results with this method but it's not hard to add them back in as needed.
