We had some interesting string as follows which need to split and take the desired portion. C#.Net provides special string function called Split, which helps you broke complex strings into fragments.

Here are our Stings look like

121 | Whole Sale Rate

131 | Retail Rate

We begin with initialization of string and then build separator array, then call the split method. I guess you are familiar with the string array if you don’t just look at the 3rd line.

string  st=”121 | Whole Sale Rate”;

Here  “|” is the separator

string[] separator= { “|” };

string []selRateStr = null;

Let’s split the string with Split, which is the function available with string object also with ToString() too.

selRateStr =st.Split(separator,StringSplitOptions.None);

the first element in the selRateStr will be 121, which can be accessed as selRateStr [0];

Here is the authentic link from MSDN which may help you to learn Split function in detail.
