Split a String into a List
Split a String into a List
The String represents text as a sequence of UTF-16 code units. The String is a sequential collection of characters that is used to represent text. The String is a sequential collection of System.Char objects.
The following .net c# tutorial code demonstrates how we can split a String instance into a List object. So, in this .net c# tutorial code we will split a String instance into a String Array then we will convert the String Array into a List object. Here we will split a Strings using comma delimiter.
The String Split() method returns a String Array that contains the substrings in this instance that are delimited by elements of a specified String or Unicode character Array. The String Split(Char, StringSplitOptions) method overload splits a String into substrings based on a specified delimiting character and optionally String split options. So, using this method we can split a String using a comma delimiter.
The String Split(char separator, StringSplitOptions options) method returns an Array whose elements contain the substrings from this instance that are delimited by a separator. So, we get a String Array from the source String instance by splitting it using a comma separator. Now, we have to convert the String Array into a List object.
The List class represents a strongly typed list of objects that can be accessed by index. The Enumerable ToList() method creates a List<T> from an IEnumerable<T>. So, using this Enumerable ToList() method we can convert a String Array object into a List object.
Finally, we split a String instance into a String Array by splitting it using a comma separator. Then we convert the String Array instance into a List object using the Enumerable ToList() method.
