remove empty string from array vb.net

I am trying to get each sentence from my rtextbox into an array. However, when I use .split method, it gives me empty spaces as part of the array.

How can I either remove the empty ones or not have them come into the array in the first place? 

Dim senArray() = RTextBox.Text.Split(New String() {"."}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

Thank you!

You can use a linq Where expression to remove the whitespace entries:

Dim senArray() = RTextBox.Text.Split(
                     New String() {"."}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries
                 ).Where(
                     Function(s) Not String.IsNullOrWhitespace(s)
                 ).ToArray()
