I have a string with quotes around the path as follows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" arg1 arg2
If I use Text.Split(new Char[] { ' ' }, 2); then I get the first space.
How to get the path and args ?

Use a regular expression like: ("".*?"")|(\S+)
So your code would be something like:
Regex r = new Regex(@"("".*?"")|(\S+)");
MatchCollection mc = r.Matches(input);
for (int i = 0; i < mc.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(mc[i].Value);
}

Try splitting on the double quotes (Text.Split(new Char[] { '/"' }, 3);) then taking the last string in that array and splitting again on the space.
string[] pathAndArgs = Text.Split(new Char[] { '/"' }, 3);
string[] args = pathAndArgs[2].Split(new Char[] { ' ' }, 2);
I may have a syntax error in there, but you get what I mean.

Do text.split and work your way back from the end of the array.
var input = "C:\\blah\\win.exe args1 args2";
var array = input.split(' ');
var arg1 = array[array.length -2];
var arg2 = array[array.length -1];

This wouldn't work if the arguments are themselves double quoted to enable them to include spaces. (Not sure if that is the case here: original question does not clarify.)
