Is there String.Split() which takes StringComparison into account?

In Best Practices for Using Strings in the .NET Framework we are encouraged to supply proper StringComparison whenever we are comparing strings. I agree with the point but I see that unlike other methods, String.Split() actually does not have overloads with comparison parameter.

Is there equivalent of String.Split() taking string comparisons somewhere in the framework or am I expected to write my own?

Solution

  • The closest thing is Regex.Split. It can ignore case and culture. Example: Regex.Split("FirstStopSecondSTOPThird", "stop", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

    Will result in:

    First
Second
