I'm looking to do something like this

public string[] getArray() {

    string text = "1 ab cd 2 ef gh 3 ij kl 4 mn";
    string[] arr = text.Split(" ").remove(every third element); //remove the 1,2,3,4 etc

    return arr;
}

You can use Linq to skip every nth element.

public string[] getArray() {

    string text = "1 ab cd 2 ef gh 3 ij kl 4 mn";
    string[] arr = text.Split(" ").Where((x, i) => i % 3 != 0).ToArray();
    return arr;
}

    I guess you made some mistake and mean `text.Split(' ').Where((x, i) => (i) % 3 != 0).ToArray()` – Zephyr Mar 05 '20 at 02:30

    I honestly didn't read the question very closely. It's going to be some variation of `Where` and `%3`. – John Wu Mar 05 '20 at 02:31
