Hello
I have a function that returns a string array. The string has a name and an ID number, they are separated by a comma.
I cannot for the life of me by using the string methods get to separate the two items.
Example.
The string array looks like, the array is called Trainee :-
Joe Bloggs,5678
Henry Kissinger,2345
I want to separate the two using the ',' as the separator because I'm building a drop-down list
I have tried to get the name part by doing
ListItem.Text = Trainee[0].substring(0,tr ainee[0].Length - Trainee[0].IndexOf(',') - 1);
ListItem.Value= Trainee[0].substring(Trai nee[0].IndexOf(',') + 1,4);
This doesn't compile, the string methods are not being recognised and I can't see how to do it. I mean I could change my function to send back two variables, but I would prefer to use the language to get my results.
Thanks for any help.
Regards

Hi,
You may use split() methot of string. It reduces your code size and doesn't depend on the length of your strings.
string[] x = Trainee[0].Split(',');
ListItem.Text = x[0];
ListItem.Value= x[1];
Hope this help.

Well, Substring isn't part of the language, it's part of the library -
and the answer to the compilation problem is simple: the method is
called Substring, not substring. C# is case-sensitive. You're also
using Trainee in several places and trainee in another - you need to be
consistent. The "length" part of your first substring looks dodgy too.
I would seriously consider rewriting that code though. For one thing,
if there's definitely only a single comma there, use String.Split
instead, just for simplicity. If you don't want to do that, rewrite the
above as something like:
string nameAndId = Trainee[0];
int commaIndex = nameAndId.Index Of(',');
ListItem.Text = nameAndId.Subst ring (0, commaIndex);
ListItem.Value = nameAndId.Subst ring (commaIndex+1);

Hello Garfield,
It looks like your using C#? The name of the string function is Substring,
not substring.
(All those who are in favor of case sensitivity can now jump on board and
tell us why this is such an excellent thing. After all, it's useful to be
able to have different methods named Substring, substring and SubString,
right? :-( )
Also, your code sample seemed overly complex. Take a look at the two
statements below. Using a compond text string (e.g. 'Name,1234') named
Tokens, the first statement parses out everything prior to the comma, the
second statment parses out everything after the comma.
txtToken1.Text = Tokens.Substrin g(0, Tokens.IndexOf( ",")).Trim( );
txtToken2.Text = Tokens.Substrin g(Tokens.IndexO f(",") +1).Trim();
Hope this helps,

Hi Garfield, I have tried all the suggestions so far to no avail. I get the error message "Object Reference not set to an instance of a object"
Thanks for the code, but on which line does the error occur? You're
evidently trying to work with some object which hasn't been initialized.
(Remember, strings are also objects.)

The actual code looks like, it's ina bit of a mess due to formatting, TraineesOnCours e is declared as "string [] TraineesOnCours e" :-
ESWebServices.E SWebServices ESW = new Eschedule.ESWeb Services.ESWebS ervices(); TraineesOnCours e = ESW.GetTrainees ForSchedule((in t)theRow["ScheduleID "]); for (int z = 0;z < TraineesOnCours e.Length;z++) { TableCell sTc2 = new TableCell(); // small table row System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Hype rLink thLink = new HyperLink();
// string [] t = TraineesOnCours e[z].Split(','); // thLink.Text = " - " + t[0].ToString() + "<BR>"; // thLink.Navigate Url = "Trainees.aspx? type=show?;trai neeID=" + t[1].ToString();
string nameAndId = TraineesOnCours e[z]; int commaIndex = nameAndId.Index Of(','); thLink.Text = nameAndId.Subst ring (0, commaIndex); thLink.Navigate Url = "Trainees.aspx? type=show?;trai neeID=" + nameAndId.Subst ring (0, commaIndex);
sTc2.Controls.A dd(thLink); sTr2.Cells.Add( sTc2); sT.Rows.Add(sTr 2); } mTCell.Controls .Add(sT); // Add small table to main Cell mTRow.Controls. Add(mTCell); // add a cell to the row

It seems in life that the more power you have, the more potential for
disaster. This isn't limited to software development. Take a look at the
presidency of the USA. Some have used the power well and have accomplished
alot with it, others do a sloppy job with many bad side effects.
This is why multiple languages have been developed. There is no cure all
that works in all situations and for all users.

Yeah, I did ask, didn't I? :-)
I've rarely found any particular mechanism which is 'all GOOD' or 'all
BAD'. Invariably almost everything involves a tradeoff. IMHO case sensitivity is
a feature whose potential for damage outweighs its potential for
usefullness. That's all I'm trying to say. (Personally, I'd stay away from using case sensitivity to distinguish between my own names which might otherwise conflict with keywords. Naturally, that's just my approach, but it is part of the basis for why I don't see the benefits of case sensitivity as outweighing the drawbacks.)
Having been delivered in this manner, it's not the most major deal. It hasn't stopped me fron transitioning to C# (on the whole, I do beleive
that C# has more potential for usefullness, than potential for damage) but if
I'd had my 'druthers, I'd have preferred this one aspect of C# to be
implemented differently. (Perhaps even an environmental switch to declare case insensitivity within the scope of a project. But that's a lot to ask, and
I don't even expect this.) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

what is the favored way for string manipulation in C, expecially when
