How to read the last line in a textbox?

Question

I have a multiline textbox that constantly gets updated. I need to read only the last word/sentence in the textbox.

Answer 1

You can extract the last line from any string as follows:

string str = ....;

string[] lines = str.Split('\n', '\r');
string last_line = lines[lines.Length - 1];

To get the last line of a TextBox you can use:

string[] lines = textBox1.Text.Split('\n', '\r');
string last_line = lines[lines.Length - 1];
