**try this way **

**
**

String s=@"System\admin";

string[] words = s.Split('\');

foreach (string word in words)

{

**   TextBox1.Text = word.ToString();**

}

ok then you can also do it like below in two ways:

string str = @"system\admin";
string[] arr = str.Split(@"\".ToCharArray());
string result = arr[1];

//or

string result2 = str.Substring(str.IndexOf(@"\") + 1);

"\ is a special character. You can have more detailed information @

Hi,
For getting admin part only it will help you.

string s = @"System\Admin";
            string a=s.Substring(s.IndexOf(@"\")+1);
            MessageBox.Show(a);

Hi,

   My string has only '\ symbol and not '\'.

Hi,

   My string has only '\ symbol and not '\'.

The backslash is an escape character.  And, in traditional syntax, to get an actual backslash character you must escape it using another backslash, or use the verbatim string literal syntax (by preceding the double quotes with the @ character)

string backslash4 = "\";
string backslash4 = @"\;
char backslash = '\';

note, there is no equivalent verbatim @ syntax for character literals in C#

See docs for string literals and character literals .

So I would use this:

string s = @"system\admin";
string[] words = s.Split('\');
