Use String.Split(Char()), Like this:

yourString = "1ADFGRE#34GGGHT#04RTYHGR";
string[] words = yourString.Split('#');

The array words will contain something like:

1ADFGRE
34GGGHT
04RTYHGR

The easiest way would be to use code like this:

string[] splitString = "1ADFGRE#34GGGHT#04RTYHGR".Split('#')

You can also use regular expressions to split up strings. Regex.Split will provide more flexibility if you have to split up on more complicated strings. There is a good discussion in this article: String.Split VS. Regex.Split?

string[] matches = Regex.Split(yourString, @"#");
