Hi!
I need to parse some text in a rich text box and store it in an array, each
item of which will be stored in a database table as a separate record.
For. eg If the user enters this text:
We, \\parents, invite you
for the wedding of our son, \\groom
on \\date.

Then I need to parse this text so that it is stored in the array as:
We,
\\parents,
invite you
for the wedding of our son,
\\groom
on
\\date.

Using the split method I am able to split the text but I lose the slashes.
This is the code I have working now:
string[] lines = new string[50];
lines = textToParse.Split("\r\n".ToCharArray());
ArrayList linesList = new ArrayList();
string [] splitLines = new string[50];

for(int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
{
    if(lines[i].ToString().IndexOf("\\\\") >= 0)
    {
        splitLines = lines[i].ToString().Split("\\\\".ToCharArray());
        for(int j = 0; j < splitLines.Length; j++)
        {
            linesList.Add(splitLines[j]);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        linesList.Add(lines[i]);
    }
}
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 0; i < linesList.Count; i++)
{
    builder.Append(linesList[i].ToString());
    builder.Replace("\n","",builder.Length - 1, 1);
    builder.Append("\n");
}
builder.Remove(builder.Length - 1, 1);

I realize this is not the best way to do it, so I need some help/suggestions
on how to handle this scenario.

Thanks for your time.

Kumar
