Remove Spotify - in a string using split

[iFuze]

I've a code which reads the Spotify windows in order to get current song playing. The output is: Spotify - SONGNAME

How can I remove "Spotify - " using split?

string s = "there is a cat";
    //
    // Split string on spaces.
    // ... This will separate all the words.
    //
    string[] words = s.Split(' ');
    foreach (string word in words)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(word);
    }
 

outputs:
there
is
a
cat


above is shamelessly copied from the first site i found when googling for 'split c#'....

If you want to remove "Spotify -" from the output using the split method, you can try splitting the string based on the "-" character and grabbing the second element of the resulting array. Something like: output.split('-')[1].strip() should do the trick!

To remove "Spotify - " from the string containing the current song name, you can use the split method in Python. Assuming your string is named output, you can do this:

song_info = output.split(" - ")[-1]

This code will split the string at the " - " delimiter and extract the last part, which is the song name, effectively removing "Spotify - " from the output. This approach should work similarly whether you're using Spotify Vanced on iPhone or any other platform.

Try splitting the text based on the "-" character and retrieving the second member of the resulting array if you want to remove "Spotify PRO IPA -" from the output using the split method. It should work like this: output.split('-')[1].strip() Have you looked at Spotify's hidden jewels, by the way? You can find so many wonderful artists there, it's amazing.

Like this - as there might be more than one dash:

string currentSong = "Spotify - SONGNAME";
string songTitle = currentSong.Split(" - ", 2)[1];
Console.WriteLine(songTitle);

To remove the "Spotify - " prefix from the output using the `split()` function, you can split the string based on the delimiter "-". Here's an example code snippet in Python:

```python
output = "Spotify - SONGNAME" Run 3
song = output.split(" - ", 1)[-1]
print(song)
```

In this code, `split(" - ", 1)` splits the string `output` into two parts: "Spotify" and "SONGNAME". The `[-1]` indexing is used to select the last part of the split result, which is "SONGNAME". By assigning this value to the `song` variable, you will have the desired output without the "Spotify - " prefix.

Executing the code will print:
```
SONGNAME
```

This approach assumes that the "Spotify - " prefix is always present in the output and that you want to remove it.
