Hi there,  
I’m a newbie taking the course about RPA Dev Foundation.

I just have a question about the Split function, I’m unable to find in the documentation what is the meaning of “c” in `message.Split("."c)`

Thanks for any idea  
Xavier

Thanks for your reply, Pradeep !  
But what is the use of this “c” ? Are there other values that we can use instead of “c”, and what will be the difference ?
