Split string gives empty elementes

[md]

Hi

I am trying to use the Split function to remove characters like ' ',
'=' and ';' from a string, but the problem is that if two delimiters
are next to each other, an empty element is inserted in the result
array. I can not use StringSplitOptions as I use .net 1.

Do you know, how can I get rid of these empty elemets?
Or do you have any hint for using regular expression in this case? And
how this regular expression shall look like?

Thanks very much in advance.

Regards
MD

Skip over them when iterating the array, or create a new array and only
copy across the non-empty elements.

Hi,

Why are you using Split to remove characters?

Unless you require an array containing each delimited string, try using the
Replace method instead with string.Empty as the replacement.
