I have strings in the format of:
httP;//whatvere[CanIncludeSpaces"].url -a -b -c
How do I get the arguments -a, -b, -c in a string array?
Thanks

are those strings supposed to represent actual hyperlinks, or is it jut a coincidence that the example you posted seems to resemble a hyperlink?Thousand– Thousand2012-10-01 22:12:28 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 22:12

No the first part is a url, the arguments are regular argsuser1202434– user12024342012-10-01 22:15:28 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 22:15

The can include spaces part is delimited by []?CrazyCasta– CrazyCasta2012-10-01 22:22:54 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 22:22

You could use regex to get it...Sidharth Mudgal– Sidharth Mudgal2012-10-01 22:23:12 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 22:23

1you can just reverse the string, split it on white spaces, loop through the strings and stop when you run into the first one that doesnt start with a dash(-) as each arg will (per your exmple) have the dash in front of it and they will all be at the end.Sorceri– Sorceri2012-10-01 22:48:07 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 22:48

Here's what I came up with:
var str = "httP;//whatvere[CanIncludeSpaces\"].url -a -b -c";
var endOfUrl = str.LastIndexOf(".url") + 4;
var args = str.Substring(endOfUrl).Split(new[]{' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
//args is ["-a", "-b", "-c"]
//also, the URL is easy to get:
var url = str.Substring(0, endOfUrl);
//url is now 'httP;//whatvere[CanIncludeSpaces"].url'
