@ranaprathap928

with the menitioned statements the Array items maybe still need to get trimmed

following statement is doing it in one go:

YourStringVar.Split("&"c).Select(Function (x) x.Trim).toArray

or also removing empty split results on same time:
YourStringVar.Split({"&"}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Select(Function (x) x.Trim).toArray
