string concatenation....

[Prabhu Dev]

Hi,

I am a newbee to C# and i have a very simple problem. Basically I
have a string "servername\use rid". I just want to get the userid part.
Don't know how. C# Gurus, can you show me a simple solution.

Sure.

string s = "servername\\us erid";
string[] vals = s.Split(new char[]{'\\'});

vals will contain two string values

vals[0] = "servername "
vals[1] ="userid"

Three alternatives:

1) Use String.IndexOf to find the '\\' then String.Substrin g to get the
userid.

2) Use String.Split (with '\\' as the delimiter) then take the second
element of the returned array - checking that there *are* two elements,
of course

3) Use a regular expression and a capturing group.


I would advocate either of the first two myself - the first is slightly
more efficient. Any of the three will work though.
