Splitting a string in C#

Question

I am trying to split a string in C# the following way:

Incoming string is in the form

string str = \"[message details in here][another message here]/         


        

Answer 1

Another option would be to use lookaround assertions for your splitting.

e.g.

string[] split = Regex.Split(str, @"(?<=\])(?=\[)");

This approach effectively splits on the void between a closing and opening square bracket.
