If you change StringSplitOptions.None to StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries in Pravin's code, then it will automatically allow for the possibility that there may be multiple spaces between words. If you don't do this, then the array produced by String.Split will contain an empty string for each surplus space.

Zeb, I think that Satyapriya answered your question; it was not made clear what output format you needed. Pravin improved on that but I think those two did the important work; Vulpes just added a bit. I think one of the other two replies should be marked as the answer.

Hi Zeb, using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string s = "AL HAMZA SHIP BREAKING CO"; string[] words = s.Split(' '); foreach (string word in words) { Console.WriteLine(word); } Console.ReadLine(); } } } Thanks
