public static string[] Split( string expression, string delimiter, int limit, CompareMethod compare )
Parameters
- expression
- Required. String expression containing substrings and delimiters.
- delimiter
- Optional. Any single character used to identify substring limits. If delimiter is omitted, the space character (" ") is assumed to be the delimiter.
- limit
- Optional. Maximum number of substrings into which the input string should be split. The default, –1, indicates that the input string should be split at every occurrence of the delimiter string.
- compare
- Optional. Numeric value indicating the comparison to use when evaluating substrings. See "Settings" for values.
Return Value
String array. If expression is a zero-length string (""), Split returns a single-element array containing a zero-length string. If delimiter is a zero-length string, or if it does not appear anywhere in expression, Split returns a single-element array containing the entire expression string.
