Kurt,
| but where do the last "" comes from in both cases?
Split returns any values between the delimiters including between the
beginning or end of the string & a delimiter. It is returning the value
between your last delimiter & the end of the string, which happens to be an
empty string. In your String.Split case you have 2 delimiters in a row (a
carriage return & a line feed), so it is returning the empty string between
those delimiters...
I normally use String.Trim before I split the string if I do not want these
leading or trailing empty strings.
In addition to the other comments on Split, there are three Split functions
in .NET:
Use Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Split if you need to split a string based
on a specific word (string). It is the Split function from VB6.
Use System.String.Split if you need to split a string based on a collection
of specific characters. Each individual character is its own delimiter.
Use System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegEx.Split to split based
on matching patterns.
Hope this helps
