Using the RegEx mehod to insert string values ino array elemens.

Using the RegEx mehod to insert string values ino array elemens.

I retreive a byte array through a tcp client. I then inser the byte array ino a string.


string cs = encoding.GetString(b);

The String variable contains info similar to this:

What I need to do is take this information and store it in an array. The array should contain information depending on the following header information:

MSH Message Header
EVN Event Type
PID Patient Identification
PV1 Patient Visit Information
I saw this link:

http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/16280

Here is my code:

ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding( );
string cs = encoding.GetString(b);

String[] CMHarray = Regex.Split(cs, "\n");
string strMHS;
CMHarray(0) = strMHS;

But when I tried to access each element I got an error message sayinng:

denotes a 'variable' where a 'method' was expected

I also tried CMHAray[0] = strMHS

 

[nastoski]

I think that only problem is that instead
CMHarray(0) = strMHS;

you should use
CMHarray[0] = strMHS;

 

[Sanjeet1]

I tried that I got the same error message.

Thanks.

nastoski was correct for the syntax he have you. However, I am a little confused on what you are trying to do. From what I can gather in your code, you are breaking up your cs string and putting each chunk into your CMHarray string[]. Then you declare strMHS, set CMHarray[0] equal to it, but don't set it to anything. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with your problem, though
