How can i split this specific string with spaces into array?
MyDatabase C:\MyDatabase\Backup "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin"
I want to have array like this: \
[MyDatabase], [C:\MyDatabase\Backup], ["C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin"]
I can't match any specific sperator for .Split() function
If you are writing code to parse command-line arguments, you could use the NuGet package System.CommandLine.
After adding that package, you can write code like this:
using System;
using System.CommandLine;
namespace Demo
{
static class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string commandLine = "MyDatabase C:\\MyDatabase\\Backup \"C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 8.0\\bin\"";
var cmd = new RootCommand();
var result = cmd.Parse(commandLine);
Console.WriteLine($"{result.Tokens.Count} arguments found:");
foreach (var argument in result.Tokens)
{
Console.WriteLine(argument);
}
}
}
}
The output from that program is:
3 arguments found:
Argument: MyDatabase
Argument: C:\MyDatabase\Backup
Argument: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin
This is somewhat of a "sledgehammer to crack a nut", but if you really are parsing command line arguments, System.CommandLine provides a great deal of functionality beyond just the basic parsing.
Try this
var path = @"MyDatabase C:\MyDatabase\Backup ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin""";
var pattern = @"(?<FirstWord>\w+)\s(?<Path1>.*)\s(?<Path2>\"".*\"")";
Debug.WriteLine(path);
Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);
Match match = rgx.Match(path);
if (match.Success)
ShowMatches(rgx, match);
private static void ShowMatches(Regex r, Match m)
{
string[] names = r.GetGroupNames();
Debug.WriteLine("Named Groups:");
foreach (var name in names)
{
Group grp = m.Groups[name];
Debug.WriteLine(" {0}: '{1}'", name, grp.Value);
}
}
var s=@"mydbbb D:\\mssql ""C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 8.0\\bin\""";
Console.WriteLine(s.Split(' ')[0]);
Console.WriteLine(s.Split(' ')[1]);
int i = s.IndexOf(' ');
i = s.IndexOf(' ', i + 1);
Console.WriteLine(s.Substring(i));
"quote" or you're "not inside a quote" so toggle the boolean every time you encoutner a quote. If you are not inside_a_quote and you encounter a space, then take a chunk of string from the current position back to the last place you took a chunk
