Split a string in vb.net

Im not sure if this is what you are looking for. It strips off the file ext and then splits the name and returns the second part of the file name.  Your left with Accounting.

 Dim FileName As String = "Degrees_Accounting.html"
        Dim Newfilename As String() = FileName.Split(".")
        Dim FixedFileName As String = Newfilename(0).Split("_")(1)
        MsgBox(FixedFileName)

Select allOpen in new window

Another approach:

Dim filename As String = System.IO.Path.GetFilenameWithoutExtension("Degrees_Accounting.html")
Dim extracted As String = filename.Substring(filename.LastIndexOf("_") + 1)

Select allOpen in new window

if you still want to go for linq, here is the correct linq for this:-

Dim values As String() = Files.Split(ControlChars.Lf, "."c).Where(Function(s) s.Contains("_")).[Select](Function(s) s.Split("_"c)(1)).ToArray()

your index was not correct...

Hi,

u can do this like,

Dim values As String() = Files.Split(ControlChars.Lf, "."c).Where(Function(s) s.Contains("_")).[Select](Function(s) s.Split("_"c)(1)).ToArray()

I don't think LINQ is a good choice for this purpose. It's not immediately clear what that query is doing or returning. I believe it hinders readability in this case.
