// instance that are delimited by elements of a specified
// Unicode character array.

}
row = "The quick,brown:fox;jumps over the lazy dog";
char[] delimiters = { ' ', ',', ':' };
//
// Returns a string array that contains the substrings in this
// instance that are delimited by elements of a specified Unicode
// character array. A parameter specifies the maximum number of
// substrings to return.
//
fields = row.Split(delimiters, 6);
