I want to split a string in C# that looks like
a : b : "c:d"
so that the resultant array will have
Array[0] = "a"
Array[1] = "b"
Array[2] = "c:d"
what regexp do I use to achieve the required result.
Many Thanks

You do not only have to use literal strings for splitting strings into an array with the split method. You can use regex as breakpoints that match more characters for splitting a string.
Regex will work faster in execution, however Regex's compile time and setup time will be more in instance creation. But if you keep your regex object ready in the beginning, reusing same regex to do split will be faster. String.
The split() method splits a string into an array of substrings. The split() method returns the new array. The split() method does not change the original string. If (" ") is used as separator, the string is split between words.
If the delimiter colon is separated by whitespace, you can use \s to match the whitespace:
string example = "a : b : \"c:d\"";
string[] splits = Regex.Split(example, @"\s:\s");
