c# - Split string and get Second value only

Question

I wonder if it's possible to use split to divide a string with several parts that are separated with a comma, like this:

10,12-JUL-16,11,0

I just want the Second part, the 12-JUL-16 of string and not the rest?

Answer 1

Yes:

var result = str.Split(',')[1];

OR:

var result = str.Split(',').Skip(1).FirstOrDefault();

OR (Better performance - takes only first three portions of the split):

var result = str.Split(new []{ ',' }, 3).Skip(1).FirstOrDefault();
