How can I get rid of charters in a foreach loop

Glenn Patton

Hi All,

I am using a foreach loop to break up a string as follows

foreach (string subString in TextReplyTrim.Split('\n'))

this gives me all data split up into the string subString I have used this many times and it works. subString is added to the string

TextReplySave += subString + ' '; I have found by checking substring some times a bit of corrupt data is in the string typically "/qs" if I chop out the '/' in the date (03/01/2013) etc so what would be the correct way I can trap it with the below:

if (subString.Contains("/qs"))

{

//throw ????

}

If I can trap it I was thinking make it equal to a space (=' ';) but that does not seem to be allowed. Any ideas anyone?

(Happy New Year, if it's your new year!)

Try:

foreach (string subString in TextReplyTrim.Split('\n'))
{
string temp = subString;
if (subString.Contains("/qs"))
{
temp = temp.Replace("/qs", " "); // replace with space
}

TextReplySave += temp + " ";
}

Note, that since you can't change the foreach control variable, subString, directly you need to use a copy.

Thanks, I had found you couldn't change the control variable, didn't think of a copy (Face+Palm) Glenn
