 ..........
i has done thank you

I tried to use

.ToList();

but it didn't work. can anyone help? thanks.

String.Join returns a string. What are you trying to do? If you simply want a list, just remove the string.join and replace .ToArrray with .ToList — aquinas

A list of what? String.Join concats a list of strings into a single string, you want to not do that? — Bort

I will take a shot at this. Is this what your after?

var list = from s in Regex.Split(sb.ToString(), "([ \\t{}()\n])") 
             where s.Length > 3 && !exclude.IsMatch(s) 
             select s.Replace("!‌", "@")).ToList()

Then you can return it:

return list;

If this isn't what you are trying to do please provide more details.

Is this what you want?

return new List<String>(
    from s in Regex.Split(sb.ToString(), "([ \\t{}()\n])")
    where s.Length > 3 && !exclude.IsMatch(s)
    select s.Replace("!‌", "@"));

Not sure why you're joining the strings together if you want the list of cleaned up text.
