      string delimStr = " ,.:";
    char [] delimiter = delimStr.ToCharArray();

      string [] split = null;

    for (int x = 1; x <= 5; x++) 
      {
        split = words.Split(delimiter, x);
          Console.WriteLine(x);
        foreach (string s in split) 
          {
             Console.WriteLine(s);
