separator

An array of Unicode characters that delimit the substrings in the given String, an empty array containing no delimiters, or a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ).

An array consisting of a single element containing this instance, if this instance contains none of the characters in separator.

-or-

An array of substrings if this instance is delimited by one or more of the characters in separator.

-or-

An array of the substrings in the given String delimited by white space characters if those characters occur and separator is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ) or contains no delimiter characters.

Empty is returned for any substring where two delimiters are adjacent, or a delimiter is found at the beginning or end of this instance.

Delimiter characters are not included in the substrings.

For example:

Input	separator	Output
"42, 12, 19"	new Char [ ] {',', ' '}	{"42", "", "12", "", "19"}
"42..12..19"	new Char [ ] {'.'}	{"42", "", "12", "", "19"}
"Banana"	new Char [ ] {'.'}	{"Banana"}
"Darb\nSmarba"	new Char [ ] {}	{"Darb", "Smarba"}
"Darb\nSmarba"	null	{"Darb", "Smarba"}
