Splitting a string at all whitespace

Question

I need to split a string at all whitespace, it should ONLY contain the words themselves.

How can I do this in vb.net?

Tabs, Newlines, etc. must all be split

Answer 1

Dim words As String = "This is a list of words, with: a bit of punctuation" + _
                          vbTab + "and a tab character." + vbNewLine
Dim split As String() = words.Split(New [Char]() {" "c, CChar(vbTab), CChar(vbNewLine) })
