I am trying to add a leaderboard in my unity app
I have a long string as below(just an example, actual string is http pipe data from my web service, not manually stored):
string str ="name1|10|junk data.....\n
name2|9|junk data.....\n
name3|8|junk data.....\n
name4|7|junk data....."
I want to get the first word (string before the first pipe '|' like name1,name2...) from every line and store it in an array and then get the numbers (10,9,8... arter the '|') and store it in an other one.
Anyone know whats the best way to do this?
Fiddle here: https://dotnetfiddle.net/utp4HK
code below, you may want to revisit the algorithm for performance, but if that is not an issue, this will do the trick;
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
string str ="name1|10|junk data.....\nname2|9|junk data.....\nname3|8|junkdata.....\nname4|7|junk data.....";
foreach (var line in str.Split('\n'))
{
Console.WriteLine(line.Split('|')[0]);
}
}
}
First split by new-line characters:
string[] lines = str.Split(new string[]{Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
Then you can use LINQ to get both arrays:
var data = lines.Select(l => l.Trim().Split('|')).Where(arr => arr.Length > 1);
string[] names = data.Select(arr => arr[0].Trim()).ToArray();
string[] numbers = data.Select(arr => arr[1].Trim()).ToArray();
Check out this link on splitting strings: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228388.aspx
You could first create an array of strings (one for each line) by splitting the long string with \n as the delimeter.
Then, you could split each line with | as the delimeter. The name would be the 0th index of the array and the number would be the 1st index of the array.
First of all, you can't have a multi line string without using verbatim string literal. With using verbatim string literal, you can split your string based on \r\n or Environment.NewLine like;
string str = #"name1|10|junk data.....
name2|9|junk data.....
name3|8|junk data.....
name4|7|junk data.....";
var array = str.Split(new []{Environment.NewLine},
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
foreach (var item in array)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.Split(new[]{"|"},
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[0].Trim());
}
Output will be;
name1
name2
name3
name4
Try this:
string str ="name1|10|junk data.....\n" +
"name2|9|junk data.....\n" +
"name3|8|junk data.....\n" +
"name4|7|junk data.....";
string[] tempArray1 = str.Split('\n');
string[] tempArray2 = null;
string[,] newArray = null;
for (int i = 0; i < tempArray1.Length; i++)
{
tempArray2 = tempArray1[i].Split('|');
if (newArray[0, 0].ToString().Length == 0)
{
newArray = new string[tempArray1.Length, tempArray2.Length];
}
for (int j = 0; j < tempArray2.Length; j++)
{
newArray[i,j] = tempArray2[j];
}
}

The string I want to split is an array of strings.
the array contains strings like:
G1,Active
G2,Inactive
G3,Inactive
.
.
G24,Active
Now I want to store the G's in an array, and Active or Inactive in a different array. So far I have tried this which has successfully store all the G's part but I have lost the other part. I used Split fucntion but did not work so I have tried this.
int i = 0;
for(i = 0; i <= grids.Length; i++)
{
string temp = grids[i];
temp = temp.Replace(",", " ");
if (temp.Contains(' '))
{
int index = temp.IndexOf(' ');
grids[i] = temp.Substring(0, index);
}
//System.Console.WriteLine(temp);
}
Please help me how to achieve this goal. I am new to C#.
If I understand the problem correctly - we have an array of strings Eg:
arrayOfStrings[24] =
{
"G1,Active",
"G2,Inactive",
"G3,Active",
...
"G24,Active"
}
Now we want to split each item and store the g part in one array and the status into another.
Working with arrays the solution is to - traverse the arrayOfStrings.
Per each item in the arrayOfStrings we split it by ',' separator.
The Split operation will return another array of two elements the g part and the status - which will be stored respectively into distinct arrays (gArray and statusArray) for later retrieval. Those arrays will have a 1-to-1 relation.
Here is my implementation:
static string[] LoadArray()
{
return new string[]
{
"G1,Active",
"G2,Inactive",
"G3,Active",
"G4,Active",
"G5,Active",
"G6,Inactive",
"G7,Active",
"G8,Active",
"G9,Active",
"G10,Active",
"G11,Inactive",
"G12,Active",
"G13,Active",
"G14,Inactive",
"G15,Active",
"G16,Inactive",
"G17,Active",
"G18,Active",
"G19,Inactive",
"G20,Active",
"G21,Inactive",
"G22,Active",
"G23,Inactive",
"G24,Active"
};
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] myarrayOfStrings = LoadArray();
string[] gArray = new string[24];
string[] statusArray = new string[24];
int index = 0;
foreach (var item in myarrayOfStrings)
{
var arraySplit = item.Split(',');
gArray[index] = arraySplit[0];
statusArray[index] = arraySplit[1];
index++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < gArray.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} has status : {1}", gArray[i] , statusArray[i]);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
seems like you have a list of Gxx,Active my recomendation is first of all you split the string based on the space, which will give you the array previoulsy mentioned doing the next:
string text = "G1,Active G2,Inactive G3,Inactive G24,Active";
string[] splitedGItems = text.Split(" ");
So, now you have an array, and I strongly recommend you to use an object/Tuple/Dictionary depends of what suits you more in the entire scenario. for now i will use Dictionary as it seems to be key-value
Dictionary<string, string> GxListActiveInactive = new Dictionary<string, string>();
foreach(var singleGItems in splitedGItems)
{
string[] definition = singleGItems.Split(",");
GxListActiveInactive.Add(definition[0], definition[1]);
}
What im achiving in this code is create a collection which is key-value, now you have to search the G24 manually doing the next
string G24Value = GxListActiveInactive.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Key == "G24").Value;
just do it :
var splitedArray = YourStringArray.ToDictionary(x=>x.Split(',')[0],x=>x.Split(',')[1]);
var gArray = splitedArray.Keys;
var activeInactiveArray = splitedArray.Values;
I hope it will be useful
You can divide the string using Split; the first part should be the G's, while the second part will be "Active" or "Inactive".
int i;
string[] temp, activity = new string[grids.Length];
for(i = 0; i <= grids.Length; i++)
{
temp = grids[i].Split(',');
grids[i] = temp[0];
activity[i] = temp[1];
}
I have to write a program which parses a string for words starting with '#' and return the words along with the # symbol.
I have tried something like:
char[] delim = { '#' };
string[] strArr = commenttext.Split(delim);
return strArr;
But it returns all the words without '#' in an array.
I need something pretty straight forward.No LINQ like things
If the string is "abc #ert #xyz" then I should get back #ert and #xyz.
If you define "word" as "separated by spaces" then this would work:
string[] strArr = commenttext.Split(' ')
.Where(w => w.StartsWith("#"))
.ToArray();
If you need something more complex, a Regular Expression might be more appropriate.
I need something pretty straight forward.No LINQ like things>
The non-Linq equivalent would be:
var words = commenttext.Split(' ');
List<string> temp = new List<string>();
foreach(string w in words)
{
if(w.StartsWith("#"))
temp.Add(w);
}
string[] strArr = temp.ToArray();
If you're against using Linq, which you should not be unless you're required to use older .NET versions, an approach along these lines would suit your needs.
string[] words = commenttext.Split(delimiter);
for (int i = 0; i < words.Length; i++)
{
string word = words[i];
if (word.StartsWith(delimiter))
{
// save in array / list
}
}
const string test = "#Amir abcdef #Stack #C# mnop xyz";
var splited = test.Split(' ').Where(m => m.StartsWith("#")).ToList();
foreach (var b in splited)
{
Console.WriteLine(b.Substring(1, b.Length - 1));
}
Console.ReadKey();
How can I separate www.myurl.com/help,mycustomers into www.myurl.com/help and mycustomers and put them in different string variables?
try this:
string MyString="www.myurl.com/help,mycustomers";
string first=MyString.Split(',')[0];
string second=MyString.Split(',')[1];
If MyString contains multiple parts, you can use:
string[] CS = MyString.Split(',');
And each parts can be accessed like:
CS[0],CS[1],CS[2]
For example:
string MyString="www.myurl.com/help,mycustomers,mysuppliers";
string[] CS = MyString.Split(',');
CS[0];//www.myurl.com/help
CS[1];//mycustomers
CS[2];//mysuppliers
If you want to know more about Split function. Read this.
it can be a comma or a hash
Then you can use String.Split(Char[]) method like;
string s = "www.myurl.com/help,mycustomers";
string first = s.Split(new []{',', '#'},
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[0];
string second = s.Split(new [] { ',', '#' },
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[1];
As Steve pointed, using indexer might not be good because your string couldn't have any , or #.
You can use for loop also like;
string s = "www.myurl.com/help,mycustomers";
var array = s.Split(new []{',', '#'},
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}: {1}", i, array[i]));
}
You can have a short and sweet solution to this as :
string[] myArray= "www.myurl.com/help,mycustomers".Split(',');
I am having strings like below
<ad nameId="\862094\"></ad>
or comma seprated like below
<ad nameId="\862593\"></ad>,<ad nameId="\862094\"></ad>,<ad nameId="\865599\"></ad>
How to extract nameId value and store in single string like below
string extractedValues ="862094";
or in case of comma seprated string above
string extractedMultipleValues ="862593,862094,865599";
This is what I have started trying with but not sure
string myString = "<ad nameId="\862593\"></ad>,<ad nameId="\862094\"></ad>,<ad
nameId="\865599\"></ad>";
string[] myStringArray = myString .Split(',');
foreach (string str in myStringArray )
{
xd.LoadXml(str);
chkStringVal = xd.SelectSingleNode("/ad/#nameId").Value;
}
Search for:
<ad nameId="\\(\d*)\\"><\/ad>
Replace with:
$1
Note that you must search globally. Example: http://www.regex101.com/r/pL2lX1
Please see code below to extract all numbers in your example:
string value = #"<ad nameId=""\862093\""></ad>,<ad nameId=""\862094\""></ad>,<ad nameId=""\865599\""></ad>";
var matches = Regex.Matches(value, #"(\\\d*\\)", RegexOptions.RightToLeft);
foreach (Group item in matches)
{
string yourMatchNumber = item.Value;
}
Try like this;
string s = #"<ad nameId=""\862094\""></ad>";
if (!(s.Contains(",")))
{
string extractedValues = s.Substring(s.IndexOf("\\") + 1, s.LastIndexOf("\\") - s.IndexOf("\\") - 1);
}
else
{
string[] array = s.Split(new char[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
string extractedMultipleValues = "";
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
extractedMultipleValues += array[i].Substring(array[i].IndexOf("\\") + 1, array[i].LastIndexOf("\\") - array[i].IndexOf("\\") - 1) + ",";
}
Console.WriteLine(extractedMultipleValues.Substring(0, extractedMultipleValues.Length -1));
}
mhasan, here goes an example of what you need(well almost)
EDITED: complete code (it's a little tricky)
(Sorry for the image but i have some troubles with tags in the editor, i can send the code by email if you want :) )
A little explanation about the code, it replaces all ocurrences of parsePattern in the given string, so if the given string has multiple tags separated by "," the final result will be the numbers separated by "," stored in parse variable....
Hope it helps
I have a program where an array gets its data using string.Split(char[] delimiter).
(using ';' as delimiter.)
Some of the values, though, are null. I.e. the string has parts where there is no data so it does something like this:
1 ;2 ; ; 3;
This leads to my array having null values.
How do I get rid of them?
Try this:
yourString.Split(new string[] {";"}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
You could use the Where linq extension method to only return the non-null or empty values.
string someString = "1;2;;3;";
IEnumerable<string> myResults = someString.Split(';').Where<string>(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));
public static string[] nullLessArray(string[] src)
{
Array.Sort(src);
Array.Reverse(src);
int index = Array.IndexOf(src, null);
string[] outputArray = new string[index];
for (int counter = 0; counter < index; counter++)
{
outputArray[counter] = src[counter];
}
return outputArray;
}
You should replace multiple adjacent semicolons with one semicolon before splitting the data.
This would replace two semicolons with one semicolon:
datastr = datastr.replace(";;",";");
But, if you have more than two semicolons together, regex would be better.
datastr = Regex.Replace(datastr, "([;][;]+)", ";");
words = poly[a].Split(charseparators, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
foreach (string word in words)
{
richTextBox1.Text += (d + 1)+ " " + word.Trim(',')+ "\r\n";
d++;
}
charseparators is a space
