c# - Converting a MatchCollection to string array

Question

Is there a better way than this to convert a MatchCollection to a string array?

MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(strText, @"[A-Za-z-']+");
string[] strArray = new string[mc.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < mc.Count;i++ )
{
    strArray[i] = mc[i].Groups[0].Value;
}

P.S.: mc.CopyTo(strArray,0) throws an exception:

At least one element in the source array could not be cast down to the destination array type.

Answer 1

Try:

var arr = Regex.Matches(strText, @"[A-Za-z-']+")
    .Cast<Match>()
    .Select(m => m.Value)
    .ToArray();
