Parsing a string

[Guest]

I have the following string format that I am trying to parse

1-1-
1-1-
1-1-1
2-222-
22-2-3

or

xx-xxx-x

from which I would like to place xx into an ArrayList, xxx into an ArrayList2 and xx into an ArrayList3. The '-' are delimiters

Any suggestion would deeply help

Sincerely

Tony D. Abe

You can use String.Split which returns an array or strings. You'd pass in
the string and the delimmiter. If you know you have three "-" then your
array will be 0-2 HTH,
Bill

P.S. A regex is much better suited to these tasks if they are any more
complex than this, but if you are sure that you'll have the delimmited and
it'll never appear where the numbers are, then you're good to go.

I have the following string format that I am trying to parse.

1-1-1
1-1-2
1-1-10
2-222-1
22-2-31

or

xx-xxx-xx

from which I would like to place xx into an ArrayList, xxx into an

ArrayList2 and xx into an ArrayList3. The '-' are delimiters.
