Answer 1

Just replace your line:

ultimate_array = string_final.split("#$"); 

with:

ultimate_array = string_final.Split(new string[] { "#$" }, StringSplitOptions.None);

ultimate_array = string_final.split("#\\$");

The reason your split is not working correctly is that split uses regex and "$" is a special character for regexes(drekka)

Answer 4

You need to escape $ (end of string)

ultimate_array = string_final.split("#\\$");
