removing single quote from end of a string in C#

Question

i am using the following code :

  importTabs.Add(row["TABLE_NAME"].ToString().TrimEnd('$')

to remove a dollar from string stored in importTabs Array list. how do i pass a parameter along with '$' so that it removes a single quote (') from the beginning ans well the end of the string?

Answer 1

You could use another trim:

importTabs.Add(row["TABLE_NAME"].ToString().Trim('\'').TrimEnd('$')

Or, if you don't mind removing the $ at the beginning too, you can do it all at once:

importTabs.Add(row["TABLE_NAME"].ToString().Trim('\'', '$')

That saves you from creating one more string instance than you need to.

Answer 2

I would use trim twice

importTabs.Add(row["TABLE_NAME"].ToString().Trim('\'').TrimEnd('$')
