Try with this it will work u c an split array string in many waysif you want to split by white space just put a space in (' ') .

  namespace LINQExperiment1
  {
  class Program
  {
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
   string[] sentence = new string[] { "apple", "orange", "baboons  cows", " rainbow", "unicorns  gummy bears" };

  Console.WriteLine("option 1:"); Console.WriteLine("————-");
  // option 1: Select returns three string[]’s with
  // three strings in each.
  IEnumerable words1 =
  sentence.Select(w => w.Split(' '));
  // to get each word, we have to use two foreach loops
  foreach (string[] segment in words1)
  foreach (string word in segment)
  Console.WriteLine(word);
  Console.WriteLine();
  Console.WriteLine("option 2:"); Console.WriteLine("————-");
  // option 2: SelectMany returns nine strings
  // (sub-iterates the Select result)
  IEnumerable words2 =
  sentence.SelectMany(segment => segment.Split(','));
  // with SelectMany we have every string individually
  foreach (var word in words2)
  Console.WriteLine(word);
  // option 3: identical to Opt 2 above written using
  // the Query Expression syntax (multiple froms)
  IEnumerable words3 =from segment in sentence
  from word in segment.Split(' ')
  select word;
   }
  }
 }
