Best way to specify whitespace in a String.Split operation

by

If you just call:

string[] ssize = myStr.Split(null); //Or myStr.Split()

or:

string[] ssize = myStr.Split(new char[0]);

then white-space is assumed to be the splitting character. From the string.Split(char[]) method’s documentation page.

If the separator parameter is null or contains no characters, white-space characters are assumed to be the delimiters. White-space characters are defined by the Unicode standard and return true if they are passed to the Char.IsWhiteSpace method.

Always, always, always read the documentation!
