Is there an equivalent to the Scanner class in C# for strings?

In Java I can pass a Scanner a string and then I can do handy things like, scanner.hasNext() or scanner.nextInt(), scanner.nextDouble() etc.

This allows some pretty clean code for parsing a string that contains rows of numbers.

How is this done in C# land?

If you had a string that say had:

"0 0 1 22 39 0 0 1 2 33 33"

In Java I would pass that to a scanner and do a

while(scanner.hasNext()) 
    myArray[i++] = scanner.nextInt();

Or something very similar. What is the C#' ish way to do this?

I'm going to add this as a separate answer because it's quite distinct from the answer I already gave. Here's how you could start creating your own Scanner class:

class Scanner : System.IO.StringReader
{
  string currentWord;

  public Scanner(string source) : base(source)
  {
     readNextWord();
  }

  private void readNextWord()
  {
     System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
     char nextChar;
     int next;
     do
     {
        next = this.Read();
        if (next < 0)
           break;
        nextChar = (char)next;
        if (char.IsWhiteSpace(nextChar))
           break;
        sb.Append(nextChar);
     } while (true);
     while((this.Peek() >= 0) && (char.IsWhiteSpace((char)this.Peek())))
        this.Read();
     if (sb.Length > 0)
        currentWord = sb.ToString();
     else
        currentWord = null;
  }

  public bool hasNextInt()
  {
     if (currentWord == null)
        return false;
     int dummy;
     return int.TryParse(currentWord, out dummy);
  }

  public int nextInt()
  {
     try
     {
        return int.Parse(currentWord);
     }
     finally
     {
        readNextWord();
     }
  }

  public bool hasNextDouble()
  {
     if (currentWord == null)
        return false;
     double dummy;
     return double.TryParse(currentWord, out dummy);
  }

  public double nextDouble()
  {
     try
     {
        return double.Parse(currentWord);
     }
     finally
     {
        readNextWord();
     }
  }

  public bool hasNext()
  {
     return currentWord != null;
  }
}

Using part of the answers already given, I've created a StringReader that can extract Enum and any data type that implements IConvertible.

Usage

using(var reader = new PacketReader("1 23 ErrorOk StringValue 15.22")
{
     var index = reader.ReadNext<int>();
     var count = reader.ReadNext<int>();
     var result = reader.ReadNext<ErrorEnum>();
     var data = reader.ReadNext<string>();
     var responseTime = reader.ReadNext<double>();
}

Implementation

public class PacketReader : StringReader
{
    public PacketReader(string s)
        : base(s)
    {
    }

    public T ReadNext<T>() where T : IConvertible
    {
        var sb = new StringBuilder();

        do
        {
            var current = Read();
            if (current < 0)
                break;

            sb.Append((char)current);

            var next = (char)Peek();
            if (char.IsWhiteSpace(next))
                break;

        } while (true);

        var value = sb.ToString();

        var type = typeof(T);
        if (type.IsEnum)
            return (T)Enum.Parse(type, value);

        return (T)((IConvertible)value).ToType(typeof(T), System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
    }

}

While this isn't the exact same fundamental concept, what you're looking for can be done with this lambda expression:

string foo = "0 0 1 22 39 0 0 1 2 33 33";

int[] data = foo.Split(' ').Select(p => int.Parse(p)).ToArray();

What this does is first Split the string, using a space as a delimiter. The Select function then allows you to specify an alias for a given member in the array (which I referred to as 'p' in this example), then perform an operation on that member to give a final result. The ToArray() call then turns this abstract enumerable class into a concrete array.

So in this end, this splits the string, then converts each element into an int and populates an int[] with the resulting values.
