Replacing few different characters in a string

Question

I try to replace few characters in some string 14/04/2010 17:12:11 and get, for example, next result:

14%04%2010%17%12%11

I know about method Replace, but its definition looks like Replace(Char,Char). Which means using it 3 times in method chain. Doesn't look idiomatic. How to solve the problem in an optimal way? Regular expressions? Any ways to escape them?

Answer 1

Chain it:

string s1 = "14/04/2010 17:12:1";

string s2 = s1.Replace("/","%").Replace(" ","%").Replace(":","%");

Answer 2

Regex.Replace(myString, "[/ :]", "%");

Simple, yet elegant!
