Not clear. Isn't it .NET and C++/CLI? Then change your tags (click "Improve question").
Just read MSDN article on Split, what's the problem?

Solution 1

If you want to split the word from ; and take the word after the ;
do like this

Eg: string query = "xxx;yyy"
string[] Query = query.Split(';');

Query [0] will be xxx
Query [1] will be yyy

You can't use string.Split to split after a character - it splits a string on a character: so it remove the split indicator, and returns two (or more) strings which do not contain the split character at all. Regular expressions also do the same thing, but can cope with a more complex matching pattern, so they won;t help you either.

There are three things you can do:
1) Write your own split method with does not remove the split character.
2) Use Split, and then add the split character back into each line afterwards.
3) Use String.Replace to add a "special character" after each semicolon, then split on that.

The second option would probably be the least efficient as the number of strings created is doubled.
