title: Multiple space delimiter split string
body: <p>I have a string like    </p>
  
  <pre><code>string = "computer prog  &lt;5spaces&gt;   data mining  &lt;5spaces&gt;   oops concept"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As we can see clearly computer prog, data mining etc., are one continuous string and the delimiter is 5 spaces between the strings <code>"     "</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I need to split based on this in vb.net - so far I tried regex.split which works but results in giving 2 empty strings additionally and it's tedious to remove those additional strings.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried using the string.split method but again it's taking even single white space also delimiters. </p>
  
  <p>Below are the tried options:<br>
  regex.split<br>
  string.split  </p>
  
  <p>None give me the required result. I am not sure what I need to use. I even tried the option of stringsplitoption.removesapceentry (something like that) to get the desired result inside the split method, but none worked.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim array_keyskills As String() = res.Split(" ".ToCharArray,StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
  system.Windows.MessageBox.Show(array_keyskills(2) &amp; array_keyskills.Length &amp; " key skills") 'Display
  </code></pre>
