How to get input separated by spaces

Question

I want to try and get a line of numbers and count them and store them in an array. I want to have the user input numbers up to 100 and I want the program to be able to separate them by spaces and count them in C#

Example: 98 92 86 92 100 92 93

The spaces will be the only separator and it would count 7 grades and store them in an array but I'm not sure how to to really do this.

Not to get empty entries in case of 2 spaces

var ints = input.Split(new char[] { ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
                     .Select(i => int.Parse(i))
                     .ToList(); //or ToArray() whichever you want

@JohnWoo list can be converted to array with a simple method. Should we spoon feed that much? – Shiplu Mokaddim Oct 21 '12 at 16:29

Since you want an Array on this, use Split function.

string x = "98 92 86 92 100 92 93";
string[] val = x.Split(' ');
int totalCount = val.Length;

or a better way to do this is by using LINQ which automatically converts into array of integers

string x = "98 92 86 92 100 92 93";
int[] y = x.Split(' ').Select(n => Convert.ToInt32(n)).ToArray();
int totalCount = y.Length;
