Answer 1

You can use Split(char[]) method like;

var s = "blue,rose/yellow-white";
var array = s.Split(new char[] { ',', '/', '-' });

This method returns string[] and you can access your strings with their index numbers like array[0], array[1] or you can iterate them with foreach statement.

Answer 2

Probably you need this

var yourString = "blue,rose/yellow-white";
var delimiters = new[] { ',', '/','-'}; //You can add more delimiters as you required
var result = yourString.Split(delimiters, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

foreach (var item in result)
{
     Console.WriteLine(item);
}

Answer 3

Try this

string words = "blue;yellow-white,red";
char [] delimeters = {';','-',','};
string[] splittedWords = words.Split(delimeters);

Answer 4

If you want to split on any non-character you can use Regex.Split:

Regex.Split("blue,rose/yellow-white", @"[^\s]");

@ makes the following string a literal string (does not try to escape \s); [^\s] is Regex for "not a character" (aA-zZ).

Answer 5

split takes params, so this is the probably the cleanest syntax

var list = "blue,rose/yellow-white";
var result = list.split(',','/','-');
