C# string handling how get path and args from a string

argscpathstring

I have a string with quotes around the path as follows:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" arg1 arg2

If I use Text.Split(new Char[] { ' ' }, 2); then I get the first space.

How to get the path and args ?

Try splitting on the double quotes (Text.Split(new Char[] { '/"' }, 3);) then taking the last string in that array and splitting again on the space.

string[] pathAndArgs = Text.Split(new Char[] { '/"' }, 3);
string[] args = pathAndArgs[2].Split(new Char[] { ' ' }, 2);

I may have a syntax error in there, but you get what I mean.
