How to parse a character separated string

[wey97]

If I have a string separated by a special character like

"string1;string2;string3;string4" etc.

what is the easiest way to separate it into an array of strings so that I would have

string str[4];

and str[0] == "string1", str[1] == "string2" etc.

?

            string s="string1;string2;string3";
            string[] ss=s.Split(';');
