In this article, we would like to show you how to split string by hyphen sign in C#.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
string text = "split-this-text";
string[] split = text.Split('-');
​
string element1 = split[0]; // split
string element2 = split[1]; // this
string element3 = split[2]; // text

Practical example

Edit

String Split() function takes as parameter character by which the string will be split into an array of substrings. As a result we get an array. To access an element we just get an element by its index.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
using System;
​
public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string text = "split-this-text";
        string[] split = text.Split('-');
​
        string element1 = split[0]; // split
        string element2 = split[1]; // this
        string element3 = split[2]; // text
​
        Console.WriteLine(element1);
        Console.WriteLine(element2);
        Console.WriteLine(element3);
    }
}
