How to remove first two and last two chars in a string?

Question

Is there an easy way to remove the first 2 and last 2 chars in a string?

I have this string:

\nTESTSTRING\n

How could I easily delete them?

Answer 1

str = str.Substring(2,str.Length-4)

Of course you must test that the string contains more than 4 chars before doing this. Also in your case it seems that \n is a single newline character. If all you want to do is remove leading and trailing whitespaces, you should use

str.Trim()
