Here is a code:

char[] delimiter = {';'}; 
string line = "wael fikri; mikke fahmeey; shaji philip; Ai Jan;";
string[] names = line.Split(delimiter, 2);

string A1 = names[0];
string A2 = names[1].Substring(0, names[1].IndexOf(";"));
string A3 = names[1].Substring(names[1].IndexOf(";") + 1);

  string gfg = "wael fikri; mikke fahmeey; shaji philip; Ai Jan;Peter Koueik";
            string[] df = gfg.Split(';');
           
           string 3rdpart= "";
            for (int i = 0; i < df.Length; i++)
            {
                if (i == 0)
                {
                   string 1stpart = df[i].ToString();
                   Lbll.Text = 1stpart;
                }
                else if (i == 1)
                {
                    string 2ndpart = df[i].ToString();
                    lbll2.Text = 2ndpart;
                }
                else
                {
                     3rdpart += df[i].ToString();
                    Lbll3.Text =3rdpart;
                }

            }

Answer 4

thanks for you all friends.

i tryed the 2 codes but both give me the result as like this first one A1 empty, second one A2 have one name first name , 3rd one A3 have the full names after first one.

like this:

A1=

A2=wael fikri

A3= mikke fahmeey shaji philip Ai Jan

Answer 5

Drop the 2 from the split i.e. use string[] names = line.Split(delimiter);

The 2 says that is the maximum number of substrings, you want them all.

You might investigate the String.Split method in the help - some useful overloads in there.

  string gfg = "wael fikri; mikke fahmeey; shaji philip; Ai Jan;Peter Koueik";
            string[] df = gfg.Split(';');
          
           string rdpart3 = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < df.Length; i++)
            {
                if (i == 0)
                {
                   string stpart1 = df[i].ToString();
                   Lbll.Text = stpart1;
                }
                else if (i == 1)
                {
                    string ndpart2 = df[i].ToString();
                    lbll2.Text = ndpart2;
                }
                else
                {
                     rdpart3 += df[i].ToString()+" ";
                    Lbll3.Text =rdpart3;
                }

            }

This worked as you demanded i have tried it...
just copy and paste the code!!

It will print in the first label the first value
in the second the second value
in the third the rest of the values!
