string str = "111122223333444455"; int chunkSize = 4; int stringLength = str. Length; for (int i = 0; i < stringLength ; i += chunkSize) { if (i + chunkSize > stringLength) chunkSize = stringLength - i; Console. WriteLine(str. Substring(i, chunkSize)); } Console.
Python split() method is used to split the string into chunks, and it accepts one argument called separator. A separator can be any character or a symbol. If no separators are defined, then it will split the given string and whitespace will be used by default.
The chunk_split() function is used to split a string into smaller chunks of a specific length.
To split a string with specific character as delimiter in Java, call split() method on the string object, and pass the specific character as argument to the split() method. The method returns a String Array with the splits as elements in the array.
static IEnumerable<string> Split(string str, int chunkSize)
{
return Enumerable.Range(0, str.Length / chunkSize)
.Select(i => str.Substring(i * chunkSize, chunkSize));
}
Please note that additional code might be required to gracefully handle edge cases (null
or empty input string, chunkSize == 0
, input string length not divisible by chunkSize
, etc.). The original question doesn't specify any requirements for these edge cases and in real life the requirements might vary so they are out of scope of this answer.
In a combination of dove+Konstatin's answers...
static IEnumerable<string> WholeChunks(string str, int chunkSize) {
for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i += chunkSize)
yield return str.Substring(i, chunkSize);
}
This will work for all strings that can be split into a whole number of chunks, and will throw an exception otherwise.
If you want to support strings of any length you could use the following code:
static IEnumerable<string> ChunksUpto(string str, int maxChunkSize) {
for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i += maxChunkSize)
yield return str.Substring(i, Math.Min(maxChunkSize, str.Length-i));
}
However, the the OP explicitly stated he does not need this; it's somewhat longer and harder to read, slightly slower. In the spirit of KISS and YAGNI, I'd go with the first option: it's probably the most efficient implementation possible, and it's very short, readable, and, importantly, throws an exception for nonconforming input.
Why not loops? Here's something that would do it quite well:
string str = "111122223333444455";
int chunkSize = 4;
int stringLength = str.Length;
for (int i = 0; i < stringLength ; i += chunkSize)
{
if (i + chunkSize > stringLength) chunkSize = stringLength - i;
Console.WriteLine(str.Substring(i, chunkSize));
}
Console.ReadLine();
I don't know how you'd deal with case where the string is not factor of 4, but not saying you're idea is not possible, just wondering the motivation for it if a simple for loop does it very well? Obviously the above could be cleaned and even put in as an extension method.
Or as mentioned in comments, you know it's /4 then
str = "1111222233334444";
for (int i = 0; i < stringLength; i += chunkSize)
{Console.WriteLine(str.Substring(i, chunkSize));}
Using regular expressions and Linq:
List<string> groups = (from Match m in Regex.Matches(str, @"\d{4}")
select m.Value).ToList();
I find this to be more readable, but it's just a personal opinion. It can also be a one-liner : ).
