Splitting string with string C# .net 1.1.4322

Question

How do I split a string with a string in C# .net 1.1.4322?

String example:

Key|Value|||Key|Value|||Key|Value|||Key|Value

need:

Key|Value
Key|Value
Key|Value

• I cannot use the RegEx.Split because the separating character is the ||| and just get every character separately.

• I cannot use the String.Split() overload as its not in .net 1.1

Example of Accepted solution:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

String[] values = Regex.Split(stringToSplit,"\\|\\|\\|");

Answer 1

What about using @"\|\|\|" in your Regex.Split call? That makes the | characters literal characters.

Answer 2

One workaround is replace and split:

string[] keyvalues = "key|value|||key|value".replace("|||", "~").split('~');
