how to convert string to string array?

Question

I have a object of type string,I want to convert it to String array

here the code is

 obj.QueryString =HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;

 string[] arr =obj.QueryString;

QueryString is of type string.

Answer 1

a string is nothing more then an array of chars, so if you want to split up the strings letters into a different string array seperatly you could do something like this:

string myString = "myString";
string[] myArray = new string[myString.Length];
for(int i = 0; i < myString.Length; i++)
{
        myArray[i] = myString[i].ToString();
}

or Char Array:

string theString = "myString";
char[] theStringAsArray = theString.ToCharArray();

Answer 2

Insert whatever character you want to split on instead of the "&" argument in the Split method call.

obj.QueryString =HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;
string[] arr =obj.QueryString.Split(new char[] {'&'});

Answer 3

maybe you want to convert to char[] array instead string[] array. to do this use char[] arr = obj.QueryString.ToCharArray()

Answer 4

Here, this will make an array that may or may not fit your criteria.

var myArray = (from x in obj.QueryString select x.ToString()).ToArray()

Answer 5

You can do this compactly with Linq (similar to A.R.'s answer), but I can't speak to how efficient it is.

using System.Linq;
string input = "abcde";
var output = input.Select(char.ToString).ToArray();

> output
string[5] { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" }
