String Array Parsed to two new String Arrays

[sblakethomas]

I am really confused on this one. I have 5 elements in a string array.

string[] strings = { "Widget 15.50", "Thingy 50.99", "Ratchet25.00", "Clanger115.49", "Fracker75.25" };

I have to separate the text from the numbers into two new arrays. One string containing {"Widget ", "Thingy", "Ratchet", "Clanger", "Fracker"} and the second a double array containing {15.50, 50.99, 25.00, 115.49, 75.25}

I don't know how to do this with an array. Can someone help?

Something like this might work

string[] strings = { "Widget 15.50", "Thingy 50.99", "Ratchet25.00", "Clanger115.49", "Fracker75.25" };
double[] values = new double[4];
int n = 0;
foreach(string s in strings)
{
string[] foo = s.split(' ');
values[n++] = Convert.ToDouble(foo[1])
}
 

Though a far better way would be to have this

List<string> things = new List<string>();
List<double> values = new List<double>();
string[] strings = { "Widget 15.50", "Thingy 50.99", "Ratchet25.00", "Clanger115.49", "Fracker75.25" };
foreach(string s in strings)
{
  string[] foo = s.split(' ');
  things.Add(foo[0]);
  values.Add(Convert.ToDouble(foo[1]);
}
 

Far less hassle than using arrays....
