I need a way to have this:
"test, and test but not testing. But yes to test".Replace("test", "text") return this:
"text, and text but not testing. But yes to text" Basically I want to replace whole words, but not partial matches.
NOTE: I am going to have to use VB for this (SSRS 2008 code), but C# is my normal language, so responses in either are fine.

In C#, Replace() method is a string method. This method is used to replace all the specified Unicode characters or specified string from the current string object and returns a new modified string. This method can be overloaded by passing arguments to it.
First travers the string and add spaces before and after punctuations. Split it into a list by splitting on just white spaces. Replacement process. Put the string back together.
string res = str. Replace("Demo ", "New "); The following is the complete code to replace a word in a string.
The REGEXREPLACE( ) function uses a regular expression to find matching patterns in data, and replaces any matching values with a new string. standardizes spacing in character data by replacing one or more spaces between text characters with a single space.
A regex is the easiest approach:
string input = "test, and test but not testing. But yes to test"; string pattern = @"\btest\b"; string replace = "text"; string result = Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replace); Console.WriteLine(result); The important part of the pattern is the \b metacharacter, which matches on word boundaries. If you need it to be case-insensitive use RegexOptions.IgnoreCase:
Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replace, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
