C# split XML InnerText

Question

I have a .graphml file which is based on the XML data format but allows us to represent graph structures. My problem is that I have many InnerText Elements in one Node and need to split them into an array.

...<y:AttributeLabel xml:space="preserve">+Name +Age -Id</y:AttributeLabel>...

From this example, I need +Name , +Age and -Id separately stored in an array. Can anyone help me out?

Btw the .graphml file is huge.

Answer 1

If you don't like regex:

string[] nameAgeId = InnerText.Split(' ')
                              .Select(x => x.Trim('+', '-')
                              .ToArray();

Answer 2

string splitOn = @"[\s+-]+";

string[] stringArray= Regex.Split(InnerText, splitOn);
