delimited string test

[=?Utf-8?B?cm9kY2hhcg==?=]

hey all,
let's say you have a delimited string value of

String value = val1,val2,val3;

and you do something like the following

String s = value.split(',' )[3];

well this is outside the range of index, so how can i say if this does occur
just make it an empty string and proceed?

thanks,
rodchar

Test for it.

string[] values = value.split(',' );
string s = values.Length 3 ? values[3] : "";

What about by checking?
string[] parts = myStr.split( new char[]{','});
string d = ( index < parts.Length ) parts[index]: "";
