How can i add a symbol between the array of strings in this method? I tried using an if statement within the for each loop that added the symbol between each index of the array but it didn't work.
public string addSymbolBetweenStringArray(string[] strArray, string symbol)
{
string s = default(string);
foreach (string str in strArray)
{
}
return s;
}
string[] strArray = { "Hello", "World", };
string symbol = "-";
addSymbolBetweenStringArray(stringArray, symbol);
The method then returns Hello-World
You are looking for the string.Join method. For example:
string[] strArray = { "Hello", "World", };
string symbol = "-";
var output = string.Join(symbol, strArray);
You can use String.Join:
string result = String.Join(symbol, strArray);

Split string by List:
I have SplitColl with delimeters:
xx
yy
..
..
And string like this:
strxx
When i try to split string:
var formattedText = "strxx";
var lst = new List<String>();
lst.Add("xx");
lst.Add("yy");
var arr = formattedText.Split(lst.ToArray(), 10, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
I have "str" result;
But how to skip this result? I want to get empty array in this case (when delim is a part of a word).
I expect, that when formattedText="str xx", result is str.
EDIT:
I have a many delimeters of address: such as street,city,town,etc.
And i try to get strings like: city DC-> DC.
But, when i get a word like:cityacdc-> i get acdc, but it not a name of a city.
It seems that you are not using your keywords really as delimiters but as search criterion. In this case you could use RegEx to search for each pattern. Here is an example program to illustrate this procedure:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<string> delim = new List<string> { "city", "street" };
string formattedText = "strxx street BakerStreet cityxx city London";
List<string> results = new List<string>();
foreach (var del in delim)
{
string s = Regex.Match(formattedText, del + #"\s\w+\b").Value;
if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s))
{
results.Add(s.Split(' ')[1]);
}
}
Console.WriteLine(String.Join("\n", results));
Console.ReadKey();
}
This would handle this case:
And I try to get strings like: city DC --> DC
to handle the case where you want to find the word in front of your keyword:
I expect, that when formattedText="str xx", result is str
just switch the places of the matching criterion:
string s = Regex.Match(formattedText, #"\b\w+\s"+ del).Value;
and take the first element at the split
results.Add(s.Split(' ')[0]);
Give this a try, basically what I'm doing is first I remove any leading or tailing delimiters (only if they are separated with a space) from the formattedText string. Then using the remaining string I split it for each delimiter if it has spaces on both sides.
//usage
var result = FormatText(formattedText, delimiterlst);
//code
static string[] FormatText(string input, List<string> delimiters)
{
delimiters.ForEach(d => {
TrimInput(ref input, "start", d.ToCharArray());
TrimInput(ref input, "end", d.ToCharArray());
});
return input.Split(delimiters.Select(d => $" {d} ").ToArray(), 10, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
}
static void TrimInput(ref string input, string pos, char[] delimiter)
{
//backup
string temp = input;
//trim
input = (pos == "start") ? input.TrimStart(delimiter) : input.TrimEnd(delimiter);
string trimmed = (pos == "start") ? input.TrimStart() : input.TrimEnd();
//update string
input = (input != trimmed) ? trimmed : temp;
}
I have a string which look likes
E-1,E-2,F-3,F-1,G-1,E-2,F-5
Now i want output in array like
E, F, G
I only want the name of character once that appears in the string.
My Code Sample is as follows
string str1 = "E-1,E-2,F-3,F-1,G-1,E-2,F-5";
string[] newtmpSTR = str1.Split(new char[] { ',' });
Dictionary<string, string> tmpDict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
foreach(string str in newtmpSTR){
string[] tmpCharPart = str.Split('-');
if(!tmpDict.ContainsKey(tmpCharPart[0])){
tmpDict.Add(tmpCharPart[0], "");
}
}
Is there any easy way to do it in c#, using string function, If yes the how
string input = "E-1,E-2,F-3,F-1,G-1,E-2,F-5";
string[] splitted = input.Split(new char[] { ',' });
var letters = splitted.Select(s => s.Substring(0, 1)).Distinct().ToList();
Maybe you can obtain the same result with a regular expression! :-)
So here is my example
string test = "Hello World, I am testing this string.";
string[] myWords = {"testing", "string"};
How do I check if the string test contains any of the following words? If it does contain how do I make it so that it can replace those words with a number of asterisks equal to the length of that?
You can use a regex:
public string AstrixSomeWords(string test)
{
Regex regex = new Regex(#"\b\w+\b");
return regex.Replace(test, AsterixWord);
}
private string AsterixWord(Match match)
{
string word = match.Groups[0].Value;
if (myWords.Contains(word))
return new String('*', word.Length);
else
return word;
}
I have checked the code and it seems to work as expected.
If the number of words in myWords is large you might consider using HashSet for better performance.
bool cont = false;
string test = "Hello World, I am testing this string.";
string[] myWords = { "testing", "string" };
foreach (string a in myWords)
{
if( test.Contains(a))
{
int no = a.Length;
test = test.Replace(a, new string('*', no));
}
}
var containsAny = myWords.Any(x => test.Contains(x));
Something like this
foreach (var word in mywords){
if(test.Contains(word )){
string astr = new string("*", word.Length);
test.Replace(word, astr);
}
}
EDIT: Refined
I have a string array. It is dynamic and can be of any length(0 also). How can I make a single string from the array, delimited by any separator like ; or | ??
string str = string.empty;
string[] arrOptions = strOptions.Split(new string[]{"\n"}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
Now, have to make the string from arrOptions and put it in str
Use string.Join:
string result = string.Join("\n", arrOptions);
Or simply concat them, if you don't need the separator anymore:
string result = string.Concat(arrOptions);
Use String.Join(separator, objects) method.
You can try both way:
string[] strArr = { "Abc", "DEF", "GHI" };
// int i = 0;
// string final=string.Empty;
//IterationStart:
// if (i < strArr.Length)
// {
// final += strArr[i] + ",";
// i++;
// goto IterationStart;
// }
//Console.WriteLine(final);
string str = string.Join(",", strArr);
Console.WriteLine(str);
str = string.Join( ';', arrOptions );
Try : string.Join(seperator, arrOptions);
You might be looking for the below solution.
string str = string.empty;
string[] arrOptions = strOptions.Split(new string[]{"\n"}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
str = string.Concat(arrOptions);

What if I want to split a string using a delimiter that is a word?
For example, This is a sentence.
I want to split on is and get This and a sentence.
In Java, I can send in a string as a delimiter, but how do I accomplish this in C#?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.split.aspx
Example from the docs:
string source = "[stop]ONE[stop][stop]TWO[stop][stop][stop]THREE[stop][stop]";
string[] stringSeparators = new string[] {"[stop]"};
string[] result;
// ...
result = source.Split(stringSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None);
foreach (string s in result)
{
Console.Write("'{0}' ", String.IsNullOrEmpty(s) ? "<>" : s);
}
You can use the Regex.Split method, something like this:
Regex regex = new Regex(#"\bis\b");
string[] substrings = regex.Split("This is a sentence");
foreach (string match in substrings)
{
Console.WriteLine("'{0}'", match);
}
Edit: This satisfies the example you gave. Note that an ordinary String.Split will also split on the "is" at the end of the word "This", hence why I used the Regex method and included the word boundaries around the "is". Note, however, that if you just wrote this example in error, then String.Split will probably suffice.
Based on existing responses on this post, this simplify the implementation :)
namespace System
{
public static class BaseTypesExtensions
{
/// <summary>
/// Just a simple wrapper to simplify the process of splitting a string using another string as a separator
/// </summary>
/// <param name="s"></param>
/// <param name="pattern"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static string[] Split(this string s, string separator)
{
return s.Split(new string[] { separator }, StringSplitOptions.None);
}
}
}
string s = "This is a sentence.";
string[] res = s.Split(new string[]{ " is " }, StringSplitOptions.None);
for(int i=0; i<res.length; i++)
Console.Write(res[i]);
EDIT: The "is" is padded on both sides with spaces in the array in order to preserve the fact that you only want the word "is" removed from the sentence and the word "this" to remain intact.
...In short:
string[] arr = "This is a sentence".Split(new string[] { "is" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
Or use this code; ( same : new String[] )
.Split(new[] { "Test Test" }, StringSplitOptions.None)
You can use String.Replace() to replace your desired split string with a character that does not occur in the string and then use String.Split on that character to split the resultant string for the same effect.
Here is an extension function to do the split with a string separator:
public static string[] Split(this string value, string seperator)
{
return value.Split(new string[] { seperator }, StringSplitOptions.None);
}
Example of usage:
string mystring = "one[split on me]two[split on me]three[split on me]four";
var splitStrings = mystring.Split("[split on me]");
var dict = File.ReadLines("test.txt")
.Where(line => !string.IsNullOrWhitespace(line))
.Select(line => line.Split(new char[] { '=' }, 2, 0))
.ToDictionary(parts => parts[0], parts => parts[1]);
or
enter code here
line="to=xxx#gmail.com=yyy#yahoo.co.in";
string[] tokens = line.Split(new char[] { '=' }, 2, 0);
ans:
tokens[0]=to
token[1]=xxx#gmail.com=yyy#yahoo.co.in
string strData = "This is much easier"
int intDelimiterIndx = strData.IndexOf("is");
int intDelimiterLength = "is".Length;
str1 = strData.Substring(0, intDelimiterIndx);
str2 = strData.Substring(intDelimiterIndx + intDelimiterLength, strData.Length - (intDelimiterIndx + intDelimiterLength));
