which side has more characters

string a = "asdf xyz 123 xx 3212";

string seperator = "z 1";

need to write a script that returns 0 if left of the seperator has more characters, otherwise return 1

in this case it should retu开发者_StackOverflow中文版rn 1

quick and dirty:

private int YourMethod(string a, string separator)
{
  if (a.IndexOf(seperator) > 0)
  {
    if ((a.Length - seperator.Length) / 2 > a.IndexOf(seperator))
          return 1;
    else
          return 0;
  } 
return 0;
}

I hope this satisfies your requirements.
