c# - Split using regex considering only first occurence of the regex pattern -

here code split string patter based on regex match.

string[] docpath = regex.split("\\\\sds\\dsd\\df\\df\\d\\fd\\d\\sd\\asdsf\\sdf\\d\\dsfsd", @"[\\][a-z][\\]"); 

the above code splits input string (hardcoded) 3 parts i.e

1. \\sds\dsd\df\df\d\fd
2. sd\asdsf\sdf
3. dsfsd

i want split on first occurrence. output want :

1. \\sds\dsd\df\df\d\fd
2. sd\asdsf\sdf\d\dsfsd

can please me modify reg expression? kindly help.

use version of regex.split() that's instance method takes number specifying maximum number of components split into:

regex pattern = new regex(@"[\\][a-z][\\]"); string[] docpath = pattern.split(    "\\\\sds\\dsd\\df\\df\\d\\fd\\d\\sd\\asdsf\\sdf\\d\\dsfsd", 2);
