Split string in C#

Samuel Fernandes 3460 06-Feb-2013
Using C#, how do I split a string so I can access words as keyword

For example, take the string "Shut down problem in windows 8". How can I split the string by a space and access the words as keyword which should return "Shut","down","problem","in","windows","8".
Please help me!

Thanks

        }

        // Keep the console window open in debug mode.
        System.Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
        System.Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
/* Output:

    7 words in text:
    one
    two
    three
    four
    five

 string txt = "Shut down problem in windows 8";
            string[] splitstring = txt.Split(' ');
            foreach (string s in splitstring)

Hi Samuel!

Use below line of code, that split string into words

string[] keywords = txtValue.Text.Trim().Split(new string[] { " " },StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

If you want to hold all words in list then use as below

protected List<string> keywords = new List<string>();
this.keywords = keywords.ToList();
