- 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 [ ] {} |
