Split string in 512 char chunks

Question

Maybe a basic question but let us say I have a string that is 2000 characters long, I need to split this string into max 512 character chunks each.

Is there a nice way,

Answer 1

I will dare to provide a more LINQified version of Jon's solution, based on the fact that the string type implements IEnumerable<char>:

private IList<string> SplitIntoChunks(string text, int chunkSize)
{
    var chunks = new List<string>();
    int offset = 0;
    while(offset < text.Length) {
        chunks.Add(new string(text.Skip(offset).Take(chunkSize).ToArray()));
        offset += chunkSize;
    }
    return chunks;
}

Answer 2

static IEnumerable<string> Split(string str, int chunkSize)    
{   
    int len = str.Length;
    return Enumerable.Range(0, len / chunkSize).Select(i => str.Substring(i * chunkSize, chunkSize));    
}
