C# Split string into readable sentences

Question

This string is an error that comes from an AVAYA phone system. I've been trying to parse this darn string into readable sentences, but I haven't had much luck. Here's the offending string: "cadd hunt-group 109\ne3 0005ff00 d6d8 "34257 " Extension previously assigned; please select another\ne2 0005ff00 c6d5 Group extension must be specified\nt\n"

I've tried Regex "string[] splitCommand = Regex.Split(commandResult, @"\W+");" but that splits into individual words, and the count of words varies depending on the type of error, so I don't think that will work. I've tried splitting on "", "\ne" and a few other things, but I just can't seem to get it.. any ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The correct format should probably be:

cadd hunt-group 109
e3 0005ff00 d6d8 "34257 " Extension previously assigned; please select another
e2 0005ff00 c6d5 Group extension must be specified
t

To get this result use:

string s = "<input>";
s.Split("\\n");
