c# - How to tell count of non-empty strings in string array -

i have string pipe delimited:

string line = "test|||tester||test||||||test test|"

i reading intro string array:

string[] wordsarr = line.split(new string[] { "|" }, stringsplitoptions.none);

my goal without manually writing loop myself if there way built framework see how many items in array not empty. can't utilize removeemptyentries property on stringsplitoptions b/c items fall within pipes matter.

any ideas?

if looking count, utilize .count after split.

string line = "test|||tester||test||||||test test|"; int notemptycount = line .split('|') .count(x => !string.isnullorempty(x));

if want filter out items empty , access items remain, utilize .where instead.

var notemptycollection = line .split('|') .where(x => !string.isnullorempty(x));
