He probably typed it instead of doing a copy paste. Good for him his problem was already solved.

shakun is just a string.

I updated the code accordingly.

Surprised no one came with a solution involving regular expressions (regex) :)

C#

string test = "shakun(shrestha)";
test = test.Replace("(", "|");
test = test.Replace(")", "|");
string[] arr = test.Split('|');
foreach (string s in arr)
{
    //do what you want here.

}

Solution 1

If you mean string test = "shakun(shrestha)";, then your output is correct.
That is what splitting on ( will return.
