How remove empty element from string array in one line?

Question

string[] ssss = "1,2,,3".Split(new[] {','})
                  .Where(a=>!string.IsNullOrEmpty(a))
                  .Select();

How does this works?

You could also use

"1,2,,3".Split(",".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

This option is the better choice for .NET Compact Framework as it doesn't accept the same Split signature as .NET Framework.

var ssss = "1,2,,3".Split(new[] {','}).Where(a=>!string.IsNullOrEmpty(a));
foreach (string s in ssss)
{
    Console.WriteLine(s);
}
