Split String

• Jun 07, 2019

Splits the current string into two or three parts, depending on the current selection or cursor position:

• If nothing is selected, the string is split into two parts by the current cursor position.
• If a part of a string is selected, the string is split into three parts: to the left of the selection, inside the selection, to the right of the selection.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when the cursor is somewhere within a string.
• when a part of a string is selected.

Note

If the selection includes the first or the last symbol of a string, the refactoring is unavailable.

Notes

• This refactoring is the opposite of Concatenate Strings.

Examples

C#

string str = "My te│st string";

VB.NET

Dim str As String = "My te│st string"

Result:

C#

string str = "My te" │+ "st string";

VB.NET

Dim str As String = "My te" │+ "st string"
