Hi @balu,

Use environment.newline split the string.

Try below code
arrvalue=strValue.Split(Environment.NewLine.ToArray, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

Yes array of string,

So u don’t want array of String u just want the format like string only??

i have created a array variable with system.string

input:
red
white
yellow

expected Output:
{red,white,yellow}

but its giving output as system.string

Hi @balu,

strValue=strValue.Replace(Environment.NewLine,",")

Yes split option will return the array of String value only.

Hi @balu,

Use this code to get the value. And use for each to loop through the value.

Hi,

i think the issue here is that you are trying to view the output the wrong way as it is a collection. arrvalue.ToString will show as System.String. If you loop through arrvalue and check each item it should show correct output. Or you can just check for example arrvalue.First, which will give the first item in your array.

HI @balu,

For example myColors is your array try below code.

List<string> tempListColors = new List<string>();
foreach (string color in myColors)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(color))
tempListColors.Add(color);
}
myColors = tempListColors.ToArray();
