Replace the last occurrence of a word in a string - C#

Question

I have a problem where I need to replace the last occurrence of a word in a string.

Situation: I am given a string which is in this format:

string filePath ="F:/jan11/MFrame/Templates/feb11"; 

I then replace TnaName like this:

filePath = filePath.Replace(TnaName, ""); // feb11 is TnaName 

This works, but I have a problem when TnaName is the same as my folder name. When this happens I end up getting a string like this:

F:/feb11/MFrame/Templates/feb11 

Now it has replaced both occurrences of TnaName with feb11. Is there a way that I can replace only the last occurrence of the word in my string?

Note: feb11 is TnaName which comes from another process - that's not a problem.

Answer 1

Here is the function to replace the last occurrence of a string

public static string ReplaceLastOccurrence(string Source, string Find, string Replace) {         int place = Source.LastIndexOf(Find);          if(place == -1)            return Source;          string result = Source.Remove(place, Find.Length).Insert(place, Replace);         return result; } 

• Source is the string on which you want to do the operation.
• Find is the string that you want to replace.
• Replace is the string that you want to replace it with.

Use string.LastIndexOf() to find the index of the last occurrence of the string and then use substring to look for your solution.
