How to split a delimited string to a List String

Question

I had this code       String   lineElements                       try               using  StreamReader sr   new StreamReader  TestFile txt                          String line              while   line   sr ReadLine       null                                lineElements   line Split                               but then thought I should maybe go with a List instead  But this code       List lt String gt  listStrLineElements                try               using  StreamReader sr   new StreamReader  TestFile txt                          String line              while   line   sr ReadLine       null                                listStrLineElements   line Split                  gives me   Cannot implicitly convert type  string    to  System Collections Generic List

Include using namespace System Linq  List lt string gt  stringList   line Split      ToList      you can make use of it with ease for iterating through each item   foreach string str in stringList         String Split   returns an array  hence convert it to a list using ToList

Either use   List lt string gt  list   new List lt string gt  array     or from LINQ   List lt string gt  list   array ToList      Or change your code to not rely on the specific implementation   IList lt string gt  list   array     string   implements IList lt string gt

This will read a csv file and it includes a csv line splitter that handles double quotes and it can read even if excel has it open       public List lt Dictionary lt string  string gt  gt  LoadCsvAsDictionary string path                var result   new List lt Dictionary lt string  string gt  gt              var fs   new FileStream path  FileMode Open  FileAccess Read  FileShare ReadWrite           System IO StreamReader file   new System IO StreamReader fs            string line           int n   0          List lt string gt  columns   null          while   line   file ReadLine       null                        var values   SplitCsv line               if  n    0                                columns   values                            else                               var dict   new Dictionary lt string  string gt                     for  int i   0  i  lt  columns Count  i                        if  i  lt  values Count                          dict Add columns i   values i                    result Add dict                             n                       file Close            return result             private List lt string gt  SplitCsv string csv                var values   new List lt string gt              int last   -1          bool inQuotes   false           int n   0          while  n  lt  csv Length                        switch  csv n                                 case                          inQuotes    inQuotes                      break                  case                          if   inQuotes                                                values Add csv Substring last   1   n - last   Trim                                     last   n                                            break                            n                       if  last    csv Length - 1              values Add csv Substring last   1  Trim              return values

string Split   returns an array - you can convert it to a list using ToList     listStrLineElements   line Split      ToList      Note that you need to import System Linq to access the  ToList   function
