Splitting string based on uneven number of white spaces

Question

I need to split a string that looks like this

1052 root         0 SW<  [hwevent]

into the following

1052
root
0
SW<
[         


        

Answer 1

You may use StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptryEntries

string strtemp = "1052 root         0 SW<  [hwevent]";
string[] array = strtemp.Split(" ".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

Answer 2

Yes, regex:

splitArray = Regex.Split(subjectString, @"\s+");

Explanation:

\s+ matches one or more whitespace characters at once, so it splits on any (positive) number of whitespace characters.
