Problem with Regex.Split() function

[vinians]

I'm trying to split a string with "|" as separator, but instead of it it's returning a vector with all letters of string. What I need is the words! what is wrong?
sample code....

dim Lista() as String
result  = Response.GetString("UTF8") 
Lista   = Regex.Split("|", result)

Sample string: "Joel|Maria|Eduardo"
Thanks!

You should add \ before | because this one is a metacharacter in Regex.

Dim Lista() as String
result  = Response.GetString("UTF8") 
Lista   = Regex.Split("\|", result)

Best regards.
