Split in Visual Basic .NET

Splitting a string means dividing it into smaller parts. In Visual Basic .NET, you can split a string using the Split() method of the String class. This method returns an array of strings that contains all the substrings of the original string that are separated by a specified separator character or a set of characters.

Here is the syntax of the Split() method:

``vb.net Public Function Split(separator As Char(), count As Integer) As String()



The Split() method takes two arguments:

- The separator argument is an array of characters that separates the substrings. If you don't specify the separator character, the method uses whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, and newlines) as the default separator.

- The count argument is an integer that specifies the maximum number of substrings to return. If you don't specify the count, the method returns all possible substrings.
Here's an example of how to split a string in Visual Basic .NET:

vb.net

Dim myString As String = "Hello, World!"

Dim myArray As String()
' Split the string using the default separator

myArray = myString.Split()
' Display the substrings

For Each substring As String In myArray

    Console.WriteLine(substring)

Next
' Split the string using a comma as separator

myArray = myString.Split(","c)
' Display the substrings

For Each substring As String In myArray

    Console.WriteLine(substring)

Next



In the first example, the Split() method splits the myString variable using whitespace characters as the separator. The output of the program is:


Hello,

World!



In the second example, the Split() method splits the myString variable using a comma as the separator. The output of the program is:


Hello

 World!
