C#-APP: Splitting a string by a character

[Iridium]

Hello, I have a quick question:

I have a string in the following format:

|001|ACOMMAND|a rgument1|argume nt2|

Now I need to get 'argument1' and 'argument2'. For the other strings I used StringBuilder.R emove, since they both have a fixed lengths. But 'argument1' and 'argument2' dont have a fixed length, so I cant use that.

Is there a function that lets me split the string by the '|'?

Thanks in advance!

There is indeed a string split() function.

Consider:

string mys="001|something| something else| super duper!| last one";
string[] allpieces=mysSplit('|');//note that I used single quotes there to designate a character
//now allpieces will be like this:
//allpieces[0]= 001
//allpieces[1]= something
//allpieces[2]=  something else
//allpieces[3]=  super duper!
//allpieces[4]=  last one

Also, there is a .IndexOf() function that will tell you the position of a character in a string ( -1 if it doesn't exist in the string) and then you could use .Substring() to pick which pieces you want.
