Split two numbers with delimiter

Hi everybody!

I hope i need something very simple (this is my first attempt using Regex).
Problem (by example):
1232|4545 : should be split into 1232 and 4545 (delimiter char "|" should be ignored)
454656 : should be "split" into 454656

I already used the following pattern ([1-9][0-9]*)([|]([1-9][0-9]*))? to validate if a given string matches which works great, but i face problems to split the string.
How can i achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Since you already have verified the string format with the regex, the string can be split with either string.Split('|');

I think no need of Regex here at all.
Most language's built-in string functions can do such a split.
For example in VB

Dim strs() as string
Dim str as string
Dim i as integer

strs = split(str,"|")
for i = 0 to ubound(strs)
    debug.print strs(i)
next

if you need the result in one array, you may need an array to store the result
instead of printing it out.

VB has a native split function, while other languages may need write str.split("|") like xalnix wrote.
(asa method of any string virable.)

Thanks everybody for the replies!

In the meantime i figured out myself that i have to use string.split(), but was curious if there is another way of doing this! (your posts are showing me that i am on the right path, since the MS platform and C# are new territory for me)

Thanks again for your time
