String.ToCharArray Method
.NET Framework 4.5
Copies the characters in this instance to a Unicode character array.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Return Value
Type: System.Char[]A Unicode character array whose elements are the individual characters of this instance. If this instance is an empty string, the returned array is empty and has a zero length.
The following example demonstrates how to easily create a Unicode character array from a String. The array is then used with the Split method.
using System; public class StringSplit2 { public static void Main() { string delimStr = " ,.:"; char [] delimiter = delimStr.ToCharArray(); string words = "one two,three:four."; string [] split = null; Console.WriteLine("The delimiters are -{0}-", delimStr); for (int x = 1; x <= 5; x++) { split = words.Split(delimiter, x); Console.WriteLine("\ncount = {0,2} ..............", x); foreach (string s in split) { Console.WriteLine("-{0}-", s); } } } } // The example displays the following output: // The delimiters are - ,.:- // count = 1 .............. // -one two,three:four.- // count = 2 .............. // -one- // -two,three:four.- // count = 3 .............. // -one- // -two- // -three:four.- // count = 4 .............. // -one- // -two- // -three- // -four.- // count = 5 .............. // -one- // -two- // -three- // -four- // --
