LINQ extension to split a collection based on a given condition.

Think of it as a String.Split() that works on collections of classes.

Example 1: Split a collection by specifying the splitters.

string[] things = { "pie", "mud-pie", "nuts", "plum", "mud-spread", "milk", "butter" };

// Literally specify the splitters.
var edibleThings = things.Split("mud-pie", "mud-spread");

edibleThings will contain these collections:

   {"pie"}
   {"nuts", "plum"}
   {"milk", "butter"}

Example 2: Split a collection by using a function to define the splitter.

public class Program
{
   public static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       var records = new Person[]
       {
           new Person("John", "manager" ),
           new Person("Mike Wang", "engineer"),
           new Person("Separator 1",  "NA" ),
           new Person("Wilbur", "manager" ),
           new Person("Shaun", "pilot" ),
           new Person("Separator 2", "NA" ),
           new Person("Mario", "manager" ),
       };

       var splitRecords = records.Split(r => r.Name.Contains("Separator"));

       foreach (var collection in splitRecords)
       {
           foreach (var item in collection)
           {
               Console.WriteLine($"{item.Name} is a {item.Title}");
           }
           Console.WriteLine("***END OF COLLECTION***");
       }
   }
}

Output for Example 2

John is a manager
Mike Wang is a engineer
***END OF COLLECTION***
Wilbur is a manager
Shaun is a pilot
***END OF COLLECTION***
Mario is a manager
***END OF COLLECTION***

Use Cases

Any time a collection contains useful information separated by known elements. For example, a text file may contain records where each record is separated by a newline. Simply read the text file, and perform a Split(), passing in the condition for the split.

string[] fileContents = File.ReadAllLines("records.txt");
var individualRecords = fileContents.Split(x => string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x));
