C# obtain data from filename

dc

In a C# 2008 desktop application, I want to obtain data that is part of the file name. I want to obtain the following:
1. Data that is the first character to where the first '_' is located,
2. data from the first '_' to the second '_'.

Thus can you tell me how to code the above using C#.net 2008?

Accepted answer
Use:

string[] items = fileName.Split('_');

items[0] will be the portion to the first _ and then items[1] will be the portion from the first _ to the second _.

These will exclude the underscores themselves.

You could deal with that situation (or even two hyphen delimiters) by replacing this line:

string[] items = fileName.Split('_');

with this:

string[] items = fileName.Split(new char[]{'_', '-'});
