Hi All,

I need to take a value in a string (from a rich text box) I have managed to split up the text into substrings with the the split property of strings.
I need to place these in an array to allow them to read seperatly and added to other strings and on. I have the following

foreach (string subString in ValueCommand2.Split('\n'))
{

    Command2[g] = subString;
    g++;
    // MessageBox.Show(Command2);
}

That is the correct wat of splitting up the string right?
The problem is now declairing Command2 as an array of strings
I have

string Command2[] = new string array[5];

This is wrong isn't it?

Split[^] already gives you an array of Strings, so all you have to do is this:

C#

String ValueCommand2 = "/* some lines of text belong in here */";
String[] Command2 = ValueCommand2.Split(new char[] { '\n' });

You can get the size of the array by using the Array's Length property.

I use "List<string> stringlist = new List<string>()" This enables me to use stringlist.Add("string to add"); and you can use stringlist.sort(). and you don't have to declare a specific size when you create it...

stringlist = ValueCommand2.Split('\n').ToList() //bam

Thanks for that, must admit I had forgotten I asked this question. Scarily similar to a problem I was (am having) at the moment with some somewhere to interface to a board more or less like that one!
