Is Replace
in C# the same as replaceAll
in Java?
I'm trying to replace anything in parenthesis but it doesn't seem to work in C#. I need the output to be just "blah".
string username = "blah (blabla)";
userName = userName.Replace("\\([^\\(]*\\)", "");
It works when I use it here.
The replace() method returns a new string with one, some, or all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement . The pattern can be a string or a RegExp , and the replacement can be a string or a function called for each match. If pattern is a string, only the first occurrence will be replaced.
The REPLACE Function[1] is categorized under Excel TEXT functions. The function will replace part of a text string, based on the number of characters you specify, with a different text string.
The fastest way would be to allocate a new string that is strlen (s) - strlen (word) + strlen (rpwrd) + 1 . Then use the strstr function to find the word to be replaced and copy up to that point into a new string, append the new word, then copy the rest of the original sentence into a new string.
The basic syntax of replace in SQL is: REPLACE(String, Old_substring, New_substring); In the syntax above: String: It is the expression or the string on which you want the replace() function to operate.
You are looking for the Regex.Replace()
method:
string username = "blah (blabla)";
Regex rgx = new Regex("\\([^\\(]*\\"));
userName = rgx.Replace(input, "");
The string.Replace()
method handles just that, string replacements - it does not cover regular expression.
You are currently doing a basic string replace.
If you want to use regular expression, use:
username = Regex.Replace(username, "\\([^\\(]*\\)", "");
