title: Splitting Array of Strings
body: <p>I have an array of strings, each element of the array contains a date and a last name, separated by a single space. For example the array at position 1 contains "12/10/2012 Smith" I simply need the date for each position in the array. Can I do this using Substring()? Or does that not work for arrays?</p>
  
  <pre><code>            for(int i = 0; i &lt; array.Length; i++) {
                  if(array[i] == ' ') {
                      array[i].Substring(0, i);
                  }
                  Console.WriteLine (array[i]);
              }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This doesn't work. Do I need to somehow look at each of the characters in the array to use Substring()?</p>
