Return the number of the array in c#

[Robba]

I got a little problem, i have to return the number of the array of the word that is filled in.
First there is filled in a sentence, and have to be split.
I think i splitted it but now i cant return the number of the index, i only get the number of the char.
I hope that some1 can help me.
Its written in C# console.
Like this: A line of words.
Then type one of the words like : line .
Than i need to get returned 1.

Console.WriteLine("Please fill in a line of words:");
            string st = Console.ReadLine(); // type the words
            string[] words = st.Split(new char[] { char.Parse(" ") }); // split up the words
 
 
Console.WriteLine("Fill in a word of the line above: ");
                        string LS = Console.ReadLine();
                        //Console.ReadLine();
                        Console.WriteLine(st.IndexOf(LS));
                        Console.ReadLine();  
 
 
 

Hopefully its enough info.
Thanks in andvance

Greetings, Robba.

Why did you declare the array "words" when you never used it?
If you want to search the position of the entered text from that array then you need a loop (or use ArrayList instead of array).

Great thanks, fixed it:P
The "words" was used to count the number of words in the progam, i though it wasnot nesesary to show the rest of the program(witch is a lot more lines).

Not sure what you were looking for?

for (int i=0; i<words.Length;i++)
{
   //something with this?
   string currentword=words[i];
}

Console.WriteLine("Please fill in a line of words:");
            string st = Console.ReadLine(); // type the words
 
            //string[] words = st.Split(new char[] { char.Parse(" ") }); // split up the words
            string[] words = st.Split(' ');
 
 
            if (words.Length == 1)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("You did not fill in enough words.");
                Console.ReadLine();
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("there are - " + words.Length + " - words in this line");
            }
 

this is the beginning.

 
// index
Console.WriteLine("This is the words index: ");
                           for (int i = 0; i < words.Length; i++)
 
                            Console.WriteLine("word number - " + i + ": " + words[i]);
 
 
                                               Console.ReadLine();    
                    }

And i was looking for something like this, to get the index of the words in the array.
