How to extract the Sepeated Segments by commas from a string?

Question

User-786564416 posted

I have a string "TagsList" enetered by user and it is separated by Commas, for example: "New York, Florida, Washington, Texas, California, Seattle,"

I want to make a loop, and inside it I want to set variable "TagValue" that extracts next segment of string between the commas.

Split the string into a string array, and then fetch the values of the array.  Trim the spaces, if you want to.

string taglist = "New York, Paris, Boston";
string[] words = taglist.Split(',');

foreach (var word in words)
{
  string city = word.Trim();
  System.Console.WriteLine($"{city}");
}

You can tokenize the string into a collection using string.Split(',').  How to determine what "next" means is up to you.

For example...

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string csv = @"New York, Florida, Washington, Texas, California, Seattle,";
    string[] items = csv.Split(new char[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

    int i = 0;
    Console.WriteLine(items[i].Trim());

    //Get the next item
    Console.WriteLine(items[i+1].Trim());
}
