You can use string.Split() for that.

Solution 2

If you want to add the values from the InputBox to the array, then instead of a foreach loop, you can use a for loop.

C#

for (int i = 0; i < Names.Length; i++)
{
    string prompt = Interaction.InputBox("Please enter a string" , "Enter Strings");
    Names[i] = prompt;
    
    // your other code in the loop here
}
