C# split string but keep split chars / separators

Is there a simple way to do a .Net string split() function that will leave the original split characters in the results?

Such that:

"some text {that|or} another".Split('{','|','}'); 

would result in an array with:

[0] = "some text "
[1] = "{"
[2] = "that"
[3] = "|"
...

Preferably without a regex.

string source = "123xx456yy789";
foreach (string delimiter in delimiters)
    source = source.Replace(delimiter, ";" + delimiter + ";");
string[] parts = source.Split(';');

Answer 2

you can probably roll your own using String.IndexOf Method (String, Int32) to find all of your initial separator characters, and merge those in with the results of String.Split
