Trim a string from a string

Question

So the normal way to trim something from a string is by trimming it by the character.

For example:

string test = "Random Text";
string trimmedString = test.Trim(new Char[] { 'R', 'a', 'n'});
Console.WriteLine(trimmedString);
//the output would be "dom Text"

But instead of doing this, is there a way to just completely remove the combined characters "Ran" from the string?

For example:

string test = "Random Text";
string trimmedString = test.Trim(string "Ran");
Console.WriteLine(trimmedString);
//the output would be "dom Text"

Now, the code above gives an error, but was wondering if something like this is possible, thank you!

You can use Remove like this:

string test = "Random Text";
string textToTrim = "Ran";

if (test.StartsWith(textToTrim))
    test = test.Remove(0, textToTrim.Length);
if (test.EndsWith(textToTrim))
    test = test.Remove(test.Length - textToTrim.Length);
