Is it possible to pipe delimit forms encoded values instead of commas?

Question

Currently, I have a set of textboxes that are dynamically created with the same name attribute:

<input type="text" name="SameName" value="Value1" />
<input type="text" name="SameName" value="Value2" />

On the server side I am receiving a submitted form (POST) and accessing Request.Form["SameName"] and the value is Value1,Value2.

My question is, is it possible to change the delimiter from a comma to a pipe (or some other character) some way?

I can't just replace commas with pipe because I need to delimit the different fields:

<input type="text" name="SameName" value="Val,ue1" />
<input type="text" name="SameName" value="Value2" />

would be:

Val,ue1,Value2

Suggesting I have 3 text fields instead of two. So a simple Replace(',','|') isn't helpful.

In reality, the POST sends the values of the two inputs individually. You're seeing the concatenated version because of how you're accessing it from Request.Form (which is a NameValueCollection).

To be able to differentiate between the different POSTed values, you can use GetValues()

string[] values = Request.Form.GetValues("SameName");
