Double Parse a text file into 2d array or jagged array

Question

(C#) I'm trying to double parse this text file I have into a 2d array or jagged array. The text file I have just consist of this"

n
ame,definition; name,definition; name,definition;

More or less, I'm really asking how to fill the 2d array or jagged array when looping. This is as far as I got, I know im supposed to fill whatever data structure im using after the second split but I just dont know what to type to fill a 2d array or jagged array

 void Double(TextAsset TextToParse)
     {
         string [] keyValues = TextToParse.text.Split(';');
         foreach(string keyValue in keyValues)
         {
             string [] kv = keyValue.Split(",");
             // Don't know what to put here to fill a 2d array/ jagged array
         }        
     }

The syntax is straightforward - each dimension is represented by another set of brackets at the end of your variable (e.g., parsedValues[0][0]).

Before your loop, you'll need:

 string[][] parsedValues = new string[keyValues.Length][];
 int i = 0;

... and within it ...

 parsedValues[i] = kv;
 i++;

im getting an error on this line.

 string[][] parsedValues= new string[keyValues.Length][2];
 
 error CS0178: Invalid rank specifier: expected `,' or `]'

Sorry, that '2' shouldn't have been there - I've edited my answer.
