As well as the IndexOf solution, if you want to stick with the split function then you'd do it like this

C#

string text = "abcd , cdef , efg , ijk , lmn";
            
// get an array
string[] values = text.Split(new char[]{',', ' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
            
if (values.Length > 1)
{
    // if there is more than one item then take everything but the first item
    values = values.Skip(1).ToArray();
}

// convert back to string
text = string.Join(",", values);

Solution 1

Try:

C#

string s = "abcd , cdef , efg , ijk , lmn";
s = s.Substring(s.IndexOf(',') + 1).Trim();
