I may have just hit the point where i;m overthinking it, but I'm wondering: is there a way to designate a list of special characters that should all be considered delimiters, then splitting a string using that list? Example:
"battlestar.galactica-season 1"
should be returned as
battlestar galactica season 1
i'm thinking regex but i'm kinda flustered at the moment, been staring at it for too long.
EDIT: Thanks guys for confirming my suspicion that i was overthinking it lol: here is what i ended up with:
//remove the delimiter
string[] tempString = fileTitle.Split(@"\/.-<>".ToCharArray());
fileTitle = "";
foreach (string part in tempString)
{
fileTitle += part + " ";
}
return fileTitle;
I suppose i could just replace delimiters with " " spaces as well... i will select an answer as soon as the timer is up!
The built-in String.Split
method can take a collection of characters as delimiters.
string s = "battlestar.galactica-season 1";
string[] words = s.split('.', '-');
The standard split method does that for you. It takes an array of characters:
public string[] Split(
params char[] separator
)
