[RESOLVED] space as delimeter for string split

[sunshine123]

I'm trying to split a string based on a space.

How do I specify a space as the delimeter.

My sample code :

string s = "sss ttt";
string delimeter =@" ";
            System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(s, delimeter);

A space does not constitute a regular expression. Just use normal String.Split.

string s = "sss ttt";
string words = s.Split(' ');

Well i tried it but i get an error as follows

Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'string[]' to 'string'

I knew I would do that it's meant to be string[] words.

ya thanks alot ....one more problem.

I want to get a part of a string from the right-side of it.

Say for example string "abcdefgh".
I want to be able to return the last 3 characters fgh.

Use Substring:

string whole_thing = "abcdefgh";

string just_a_bit = whole_thing.Substring(whole_thing.Length - 3, 3);
