Split by multiple characters

Question

The result of doing

var b = "asfsadefbweabgggggggggggg".Split("ab".ToCharArray());

is a list of 6 strings while I want to split the array in "asfsadefbwe" and "gggggggggggg". Is there any way/method to properly do that (with C#)?

PS: I'll use a string which has some data separate by "\r\n" secuences.

maybe write a method that finds the last occurance of sample string (in your case "ab") and split on there? — Shark, Jul 30 '12 at 09:28
Maybe is duplicated but I couldn't finde the right wording to find it, sorry. — David Fornas, Jul 30 '12 at 09:38

string[] list = b.Split(new string[] { "ab" }, StringSplitOptions.None);

Use another overload, one that doesn't split on individual characters:

 "asfsadefbweabgggggggggggg".Split(new [] {"ab" }, StringSplitOptions.None)

Are your substrings always the same length? If so, use String.Substring.
