C# LINQ: How is string(“[1, 2, 3]”) parsed as an array?

Question

I am trying to parse a string into array and find a very concise approach.

string line = \"[1, 2, 3]\";
string[] input = line.Substring(1, line.Length - 2).S         


        

Answer 1

you might try

    string line = "[1,2,3]";
    IEnumerable intValues = from i in line.Split(',')
                                 select Convert.ToInt32(i.Trim('[', ' ', ']'));
