Simple String split

[AMP]

Hello,
I am trying to split a string at the newline and this doesnt work:
String[] Channel = FileName.Split("\r");

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Mike

Depending on where you got it, the newline sequence might also be \n or
\r\n

Try studying the variable with a Watch in the debugger.

Eq.

Either way it doesnt work:
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'string' to 'char[]'
Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to split a string at the newline and this doesnt work:
String[] Channel = FileName.Split("\r");

Try:-

String[] Channel = FileName.Split('\r');

Also are you using the Visual Studio?

To be sure use \n instead of \r because newlines in a text file created
on a unix/linux system a text line is terminated by a single "\n", while
in DOS/Windows it is "\r\n".

String[] Channel = FileName.Split('\n');

Secondly: If the text line is from a DOS/Windows text file you still
have to remove the remaining \r or \n depending on what separator you
use in the split statement.

String arg0 = Channel[0].trim("\r\n");

and so on....

Personally I ended up in implementing this function:

public static String[] Str2Lines(String s, int optional_max_count)

It mystifies me why that isn't an override of split as standard.

String[] Channel = FileName.Split(new string[] { "\\r" },
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

To split lines?

I meant a simple overload of split(string delimiter). Thus s.split("\r\n")
would work.

>Could be handy, I guess - you can always add your own
extension method (in C# 3, anyway).

That would be nice but most of our customers have only just moved to 2.0 and
I'm still wary of using C# 3 in that environment. As yet I've not
discovered a way to ensure ASPX pages and App_Code files don't go out to
these customers with C# 3 code in them. So at the moment I'm having to
stick with C# 2. :(

Besides C# 3 is useful but not as useful as also having LINQ would be if the
sites had 3.5.
