Split last word from the rest of the string

sabine

Hi,
I have a string with undefined number of words.
I want to split this string in two parts: the last word alone and all the other words in another string.
How is that possible?
Thank you in advance

Hi
You can do in this way
string inputvalue = "this is my reply to this forum";
string[] words = inputvalue.Split(' ');
string lastWord = words[parts.Length - 1]; //lastWord = forum

Alternatively,
string[] parts = input.Split(' ');
string lastWord = parts[parts.Length - 1];

Hi Sabine,
You can split last word from the rest of the string as like following:
string data = "this is data in variable for";
Console.WriteLine(data.Substring(0, data.LastIndexOf(" ")));
Console.WriteLine(data.Substring(data.LastIndexOf(" ") + 1));
Output:
this is data in variable

Use Split to split string on spaces.

By doing so it will separate all the words in it.

The output will be

You can also use String.Substring() and String.LastIndexof() instead of .Split

Hi,

Simple logic will help you to get easily..

string sentence = "Senthil is testing this string magic";
string lastWord = sentence.Substring(sentence.LastIndexOf(" ") + 1);
string exceptLastWord = sentence.Substring(0, sentence.LastIndexOf(" ") + 1);

If it is helpful then mark it as correct answer.

If the words are separated by spaces, then you can do it like this:

using System;

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
string s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
int index = s.LastIndexOf(" ");
string s1, s2;
if (index > -1)
{
s1 = s.Substring(0, index);
s2 = s.Substring(index + 1);
}
else
{
s1 = s;
s2 = "";
}

Console.WriteLine(s1);
Console.WriteLine(s2);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
