Get Substring - everything before certain char
(9 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Lets say I have a string:
string a = "abc&dcg / foo / oiu";
now i would like the output to be
"abc&dcg"
i have tried:
string output= a.Substring(a.IndexOf('/'));
but it returns the last part not the first part
I have tried trim() as well, but doesn't provide me with the results.
Try this:
string result = a.Split('/')[0].Trim();
The split operation will give you the 3 substrings separated by '/' and you can choose whichever ones you want by specifying the index.
Try this one
string a = "abc&dcg / foo / oiu";
string output = a.Substring(0, a.IndexOf("/"));
Console.WriteLine(output);
It will show
abc&dcg
Try
string output;
if (a.IndexOf('/')>=0) { output = a.Split('/')[0].Trim() };
This wil prevents error case a doesn't contains any /

How can I parse the int from a String in C#?
(4 answers)
Closed 3 months ago.
I have this line of code
bool containsInt = "Sanjay 400".Any(char.IsDigit)
What I am trying to do is extract the 400 from the string but
Any(char.IsDigit)
only returns a true value. I am very new to coding and c# especially.
As you already found out, you cannot use Any for extraction.
You would need to use the Where method:
List<char> allInts = "Sanjay 400".Where(char.IsDigit).ToList();
The result will be a list containing all integers/digits from your string.
Ok if you are interested in the value as integer you would need to convert it again to a string and then into an integer. Fortunately string has a nice constructor for this.
char[] allIntCharsArray = "Sanjay 400".Where(char.IsDigit).ToArray();
int theValue = Convert.ToInt32(new string(allIntCharsArray));
If you are using .NET 5 or higher you could also use the new cool TryParse method without extra string conversion:
int.TryParse(allIntCharsArray, out int theValue);
int result = int.Parse(string.Concat("Sanjay 400".Where(char.IsDigit)));
Use the Regex
var containsInt = Convert.ToInt32(Regex.Replace(#"Sanjay 400", #"\D", ""));
Regular expressions allow you to take only numbers and convert them into integers.

How to remove a defined part of a string?
(8 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I am trying to delete parts of the string (first 10 chars) so that I get the serial code of the string without any extra chars. Now, the serial code will always begin after the ":" colon char. So is there a way to specify to delete strings from ":" and before that so that only remaining string would be the serial key?
for example;
string is "MySerials:12e42-23w6z-23w-a23"
final string must be "12e42-23w6z-23w-a23"
I am deleting the strings manually;
public string myStr;
public void Start () {
myStr = myStr.Substring (10, myStr.Length - 10);
Debug.Log (myStr);
}
I would use the string split function like so:
var teststring = "MySerials:12e42-23w6z-23w-a23";
var split = teststring.Split(':');
Console.WriteLine(split[1]);
Instead of splitting the string you could look for the first occurrence of ':' and get your result directly:
var input = "MySerials:12e42-23w6z-23w-a23";
var result = input.Substring(input.IndexOf(':') + 1);

Add zero-padding to a string
(6 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have a very simple Question to ask.
I have a string like:
string str="89";
I want to format my string as follow :
str="000089";
How can i achieve this?
Assuming the 89 is actually coming from another variable, then simply:
int i = 89;
var str = i.ToString("000000");
Here the 0 in the ToString() is a "zero placeholder" as a custom format specifier; see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings
If you have a string (not int) as the initial value and thus you want to pad it up to length 6, try PadLeft:
string str = "89";
str = str.PadLeft(6, '0');
If you want the input to be a string you'll have to parse it before you output it
int.Parse(str).ToString("000000")

C# string replace does not actually replace the value in the string [duplicate]
(3 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm getting a string from a Json :
var value = JsonObject["price"]; //value = "1,560";
i'm trying to replace the ',' with an empty string :
value.Replace(",",string.Empty);
but i'm still getting the value with "," that's so strange and i'm stuck at it
thanks in advance
value = value.Replace( ", ", string.Empty);
strings in .net are immutable.
Per the documentation for String.Replace:
Returns a new string in which all occurrences of a specified string in the current instance are replaced with another specified string.
It gives you a new string; it doesn't modify the existing one. So you need to assign the result to a variable:
value = value.Replace(",", string.Empty);

How to get the last five characters of a string using Substring() in C#?
(12 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a string variable like test10015, i want to get just the 4 digits 1001,
what is the best way to do it?
i"m working in asp.net c#
With Linq:
var expected = str.Skip(4).Take(4);
Without Linq:
var expected = str.Substring(4,4);
Select the first four digits in your string:
string str = "test10015";
string strNum = new string(str.Where(c => char.IsDigit(c)).Take(4).ToArray());
You can use String.Substring Method (Int32, Int32). You can subtract 5 from from the length to start from your required index. Make sure the format of string remains the same.
string res = str.Substring(str.Length-5, 4);
string input = "test10015";
string result = input.Substring(4, 4);
