c# - Split Line with Two Delimiters -

context

i'm designing application bring in initial settings application use. settings imported through text file , have format:

color= blue size= 5 value = 100 

each line created object setting(string a, string b) using delimiter of "=" line.split(). each object created added list(setting) _settingslist.

problem

there 2 settings @ end of text file in format

location = 123 street, city, state, zip code 

in situation, want split both "=" , "," , use create object location(string name, string address, string city, string state, string zip). finally, added list _loclist.

current code

streamreader reader = new streamreader(openfiledialog1.filename); string line;  while ((line = reader.readline()) != null) {      string[] words = line.split('=');    if(words[0].tolower().trim() == "location")    {        string keepthis = words[0].tolower().trim();        string[] words = line.split('='); //how split 2 delimiters?        _loclist.add(new location(words[0], words[1], words[2], words[3], words[4]);    }   _settingslist.add(new setting(words[0], words[1])); } 

the string keepthis there because tried remove entire "location = " part line, use "," delimiter, add new location(keep this, words[0], words[1], words[2], words[3])

any suggestions solve appreciated!

string[] words = line.split('=', ','); 

use , should good. close. can add many parameters want .split() include many escape chars needed. tip though, if you're ever using 3 or more escape characters i'd suggest making array of them first, passing array argument. keeps clean!

hope helps bud!
