.Split() Function

Question

Am I using the .Split() function wrong? I have a DataGrid widget that returns the selected row. I am trying to parse the selected row string so I can access the values to display. 
 Here is a screenshot of how I am using it: 
 
 I am currently just sending the data to ErrorMessage.Text to view the output before I start setting it to my actual text boxes. The SelectedSKURow is my custom property string that my DataGrid SelectedRow is binded to. 
 The SelectedRow returns "ID|Name|Qty1|Qty2" which is why I am trying to split by the "|" character. I originally had stringSplit = SelectedSKURow.Split("|") but that also wasn't splitting anything. It just sets the whole selected row string as stringSplit[1].

Hi Caroline, 
 Please try the following 
 
 dim myString as string;
myString = "ID|Name|Qty1|Qty2";

dim delimstr as string;
dim stringsplit[4] as string;
dim split[1] as System.Char;
delimstr = "|"; 
split = delimstr.ToCharArray();
stringsplit = myString.Split(split);

LogMessage("value on position 1: "+stringsplit[1]);
LogMessage("value on position 2: "+stringsplit[2]);
LogMessage("value on position 3: "+stringsplit[3]);
LogMessage("value on position 4: "+stringsplit[4]); 
 The result should be
