C# Split gives an error

I have an array of Strings

 String[] theStringArray ={"A,B,C,D,E,F,G",
               "H,I,J,K,L,M,N"};

I have an empty string array I am trying to set its contents to the contents of the 0 index of the above array.

String[] theNewArray;

theNewArray =  theStringArray[0].Split(",");

Thi开发者_开发技巧s gives an error.What I have Done wrong?

Use simple quotes

String[] theNewArray;

theNewArray =  theStringArray[0].Split(',');

String is not implicitly convertible to char[], which is what Split expects.

theNewArray =  theStringArray[0].Split(',');

If you need to split by more than one character, you can use

theNewArray =  theStringArray[0].Split(",.;:".ToCharArray());

In the future, it is helpful to tell what error message you're getting. :)

The Split() method takes a char, not a string. Change your code to this (note the single quotes):

theNewArray =  theStringArray[0].Split(','); 

The error you're getting is:

The best overloaded method match for 'string.Split(params char[])' has some invalid arguments

This is because you're passing the Split method a string (double-quotes) rather than a character (single-quotes).

Try this instead:

theNewArray =  theStringArray[0].Split(',');

hey man use theString.split(",");

You must use single quotes to specify you mean a char[] and not a string, even if the string is one char long.

It is also worth noting that Join requires double quotes. Quite unintuitive don't you think?!

var joinString = string.Join("|", join);
var string[] split = joinString.Split('|');
