Hi,

string mystring = "system\admin";
int slash_position = mystring.IndexOf("\");
string string1 = mystring.substring(0,slash_position-1);

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm getting an error called "Newline in constant" in this line "int slash_position = mystring.IndexOf("\");"

Ah, the \ is a special character. Try

int slash_position = mystring.IndexOf("\\");

Do you need to use the IndexOf member?

There are members that can more easily split strings seperated by special characters...

I'm getting an ArgumentOutOfRange Exception. "Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length"

Try understanding what the code does. This will allow you to find the fault. I suspect that I have made some stupid error in it, which you can easily figure out... :)

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      string domainAndUser = @"system\admin";
      string[] sArray = domainAndUser.Split(new char[] { '\\' }, StringSplitOptions.None);
      string domain = sArray[0];
      string user = sArray[1];
      Console.WriteLine("Domain: " + domain);
      Console.WriteLine("User: " + user);
    }

Results in:

Domain: system
User: admin
