class Sample 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
        string s2 = "[stop][stop][stop]";
        char[] charSeparators = new char[] {','};
        string[] stringSeparators = new string[] {"[stop]"};
        string[] result;
        result = s2.Split(stringSeparators, 2, StringSplitOptions.None);
        Show(result);
    }

    public static void Show(string[] entries)
    {
        foreach (string entry in entries){
            Console.WriteLine(entry);
        }
    }
