parsing string / dynamic array
Posted on 2008-10-12
have a string for example:
string MySentence;
What I want to be able to do is parse that sentence and seperate all the words/entries that are seperated by a space into a seperate mini string/char array..
so, "this is my first sentence." would become:
[1] "this"
[2] " "
[3] "is"
[4] " "
[5] "my"
[6] " "
[7] "first"
[8] " "
[9] "sentence."
the reason I mention dynamic is that it is not possible to determine how many mini chunks are needed in advance -- depends what is contained in the string initially.
how is type of variable truncating / dynamic array scripted in c# / .net based pages?

string sample = "this is my first sentence.";
string[] words = sample.Split(' ');
foreach (string word in words)
{
Console.WriteLine(word);
}

After seeing what you actually need is not completely provided by string.split() method, but what it gives is the dynamic array but not including the spaces as needed by you
I recommend you to use the string.split() method but just keep in mind that every array member will be followed by a space character. Its just a programming logic and can be implemented quite easily

I am doing a little change to the code by kukno
string sample = "this is my first sentence.";
string sample1 = sample.Replace(" ", "* *");
string[] words = sample1.Split('*');
foreach (string word in words)
{
Console.WriteLine(word);
}
string sample = "this is my first sentence.";
string sample1 = sample.Replace(" ", "* *");
string[] words = sample1.Split('*');
foreach (string word in words)
{
Console.WriteLine(word);
}
ok, got it -- works fine as written.
utilising one the example (via the url link provided).
is there a way to still have the 'chars' that have been stripped away to be kept?
i.e. ' ' '.' ',' etc... to be recorded on the next line (like the words seperated.

string inputValue = "this is my first sentence.";
string[] inputWords =
inputValue.Split(new char[] { ' ', ',', ';', '.', '-', '/', '|', '\\',
'%', '#', '@', '!', '~', '$', '^', '(',
')', '+', '[', ']', '{', '}', '"', ':',
'<', '>', '?', '\r', '\n', '*' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
foreach (string inputWord in inputWords)
{
Console.WriteLine(inputWord);
}
checking through : ragi0017 & TechTiger007 submissions (did notice were there, as page was not refreshed in time -- when I submitted my response to kukno
TechTiger007: what is the addiitonal value provided with your update please? i.e. replacing the ' ' with '*' etc.
the space is replaced with *space* and then split the content with * so that you will not loose the space and you will get the data as you wanted
