Regex to split string into groups

Question

How can I match this string in c# using regex so it returns 4 groups per line?

1 or more digits|one or more letters|one or more letters|one ore more X-Digit(s)\n

Example:

123|ABC|ABC|X-1;X-12;X-13
123|ABC|ABC|X-1

I've tried this \d+\|(A-Z)\|(A-Z)\|(X-)d+

Have you considered using `text.Split('|')` instead? – stuartd Mar 28 '17 at 15:49 — stuartd, Mar 28 '17 at 15:49

Why shooting with canons at birds?=! If you could simply use the String.Split method to achieve that

string test = "123|ABC|ABC|X-1;X-12;X-13";

string [] groups = test.Split('|');

it will return an array of elements that were separated by a |
