@Naim

You are splitting the string based on “-”. But in the second String there no “-”. Because of that you are getting that error.

Check that the string contains “-” before splitting. The second example is failing because it doesn’t have a hyphen character so the Split returns an array with only one item. So the index 1 is out of bounds.

You need to check that the String contains “-”. Use an If and for the condition do StrString.Contains(“-”). Then if true you can split and do your normal logic. If false you need to process the string differently.

@Naim

Ok. But actually what are you trying to fetch from both the strings ?

Date month and year only…

@Naim

Before dividing into String using split function first check whether the string contains “-” or not. If it contains then split it based in “-” else don’t split it.

@Naim To get Date month and year only use regex like this

Hi i have same problem but,
There is a text I’m splitting it when it has 2 index’s but, sometime only 1 index is available then it throws Index was outside the bounds of the array.

for Example strExample=“Hospital Name 1-203659045”

I need to Split this and update into different columns
Please help me when it doesn’t have phone number need to ignore the phone number column

@Krupa_P1

First check whether string contains of hypen “-” or not in Input string.

If strExample.Contains(“-”)
Then
Use Split function to split the string
Else
No Split
