Split a string on a string not a character

Question

I want to split a gridview row on an html tag. How can i do this preferably in C#??

e.row.cells[1].Text.Split("htmltag") 

Answer 1

Yes. Use the overload

String.Split(String[], StringSplitOptions) 

or

String.Split(String[], int, StringSplitOptions) 

Example:

var split = e.row.cells[1].Text.Split(                 new[] { "</b>" },                 StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries             ); 

But do heed StrixVaria's comment above. Parsing HTML is nasty so unless you're an expert offload that work to someone else.
