As the topic title says, I have a string (string word = "Word"), which I want to split up into a string array (string[]).

How do I do this?

The string is always just one word.

ok so you are looking for string = "word" to become string array[4] = "w""o""r""d"?

[Sergio Tapia]

So you want to convert:

"Word" into:

["W","o","r","d"]?

[Dumpen]

Yes

[Sergio Tapia]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string word = "Word";

            word.ToCharArray();

            foreach (char x in word)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(x);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

I think that you would need an array of char, since you are splitting the string in characters, but anyway. Here is the code to convert the string to a string array.

string[] StringToArray(string source)
{
    string initString = source;
    char[] arrayOfChar = initString.ToCharArray();
    string[] arrayOfString = new string[arrayOfChar.Length];

    for(int i =0; i < arrayOfChar.Length-1; i++)
    {
       arrayOfString[i] = arrayOfChar[i].ToString();
    }

    return arrayOfString;
}

If you decide to get the char array, just remove the loop and change the returned array.

Thanks guys

I read this a little differently, but I thought the OP was asking for a way to break a string into an array of strings. All these answers use a string of char. If I am wrong please ignore, if I am right then just use string.split The MSDN documentation is on the link below. Enjoy!

This is the way I would do it:

namespace MyExample
{
    public class Program
    {
        public void Run(string word)
        {
            // Instantiating a List object of type char.
            List<char> myList = new List<char>();

            try
            {
                for ( int i = 0; i < word.Length; i++ )
                {
                    myList.Add(word[i]);
                    Console.WriteLine(myList[i]);
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                // Catch statement just in case.
            }
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Program p = new Program();
            p.Run("Word to ya' motha!");
        }
    }
}

I am not sure why Adkins got a negative vote for this post since the OP did ask for a string array. I have added an up vote to even it out.
