Parsing a string of comma separated values

Question

What would be the most elegant way to extract values from a string of comma-separated numbers?

It should account for whitespaces too. Example:

Input string: "22,10,8,13"
Input string: "22, 10, 8, 13"
Input string: "22, 10 ,8 ,13,"

Given all three inputs, the method should recognise the values. Example output for all three inputs: "String contains: 22 10 8 13"

Answer 1

string input = "22,10 ,8 , 13";
var output = input.Split(',').Select(i=>i.Trim());
