How to break a string at each comma?

Question

Hi guys I have a problem at hand that I can\'t seem to figure out, I have a string (C#) which looks like this:

string tags = \"cars, motor, whee         


        

Answer 1

You are looking for the C# split() function.

string[] tags = tags.Split(',');

Edit:

string[] tag = tags.Trim().Split(new string[] { ", " }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

You should definitely use the form supplied by Justin Niessner. There were two key differences that may be helpful depending on the input you receive:

1. You had spaces after your ,s so it would be best to split on ", "

2. StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries will remove the empty entry that is possible in the case that you have a trailing comma.
