Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function IsSeparator ( _
s As String, _
index As Integer _
) As Boolean
public static bool IsSeparator(
string s,
int index
)
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the character at position index in s is a separator character; otherwise, false.
Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException | s is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
ArgumentOutOfRangeException | index is less than zero or greater than the last position in s. |
Remarks
Character positions in a string are indexed starting from zero.
The Unicode standard recognizes three subcategories of separators:
Space separators (the UnicodeCategory.SpaceSeparator category), which includes characters such as \u0020.
Line separators (the UnicodeCategory.LineSeparator category), which includes \u2028.
Paragraph separators (the UnicodeCategory.ParagraphSeparator category), which includes \u2029.
Note: |
---|
The Unicode standard classifies the characters \u000A (LF), \u000C (FF), and \u000A (CR) as control characters (members of the UnicodeCategory.Control category), not as separator characters. |
Examples
The following example demonstrates IsSeparator.
Module Example

str = "twain1 twain2"
outputBlock.Text &= Char.IsSeparator("a"c) & vbCrLf ' Output: "False"
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(Char.IsSeparator(str, 6)) & vbCrLf ' Output: "True"
End Sub
End Module
using System;
public class Example
{
public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
{
string str = "twain1 twain2";
outputBlock.Text += Char.IsSeparator('a') + "\n"; // Output: "False"
outputBlock.Text += Char.IsSeparator(str, 6) + "\n"; // Output: "True"
