Skip and Select Elements in a String Array using LINQ

Here’s how to skip and select elements in a string array using LINQ. In the example shown below, we will skip the first two elements of an array and select the next three.

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string[] arr = {"One", "Two", "Three",
                   "Four", "Five", "Six",
                   "Seven", "Eight"};
    var result = from x in arr
                     .Skip<string>(2)
                     .Take<string>(3)
                 select x;

    foreach (string str in result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", str);
    }

    Console.ReadLine();
}

VB.NET

Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
    Dim arr() As String = {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five",
"Six", "Seven", "Eight"}
    Dim result = From x In arr.Skip(Of String)(2).Take(Of String)(3)
                 Select x

    For Each str As String In result
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", str)
    Next str

    Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

OUTPUT

Three
Four
Five
