Divide a string at first space

Question

For a chat-bot, if someone says "!say " it will recite what you say after the space. Simple.

Example input:

!say this is a test

Desired output:

this is a test

The string can be represented as s for sake of argument. s.Split(' ') yields an array.

s.Split(' ')[1] is just the first word after the space, any ideas on completely dividing and getting all words after the first space?

I've tried something along the lines of this:

s.Split(' ');
for (int i = 0; i > s.Length; i++)
{
    if (s[i] == "!say")
    {
        s[i] = "";
    }
}

The input being:

!say this is a test

The output:

!say

Which is obviously not what I wanted :p

(I know there are several answers to this question, but none written in C# from where I searched.)

Answer 1

Use the overload of s.Split that has a "maximum" parameter.

It's this one: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c1bs0eda.aspx

Looks like:

var s = "!say this is a test";
var commands = s.Split (' ', 2);

var command = commands[0];  // !say
var text = commands[1];     // this is a test
