Hello all,
I am creating a string based on data returned from an oracle db into a
hashtable.
string tmpFirstName = tmphashtable["FIRST_NAME "].ToString();
The Database has a column called FIRST_NAME but the return also has the
middle initial so my string look something like this "FirstName M" I
don't need the M. Can nay one show me an example on how to parse the
space and the M from the string to just get the FirstName?
Thanks,
KC 6 3323
I suppose the other catch is someone who has two words as a first name, or
more than one initial.
something like?
// convert "Freg H" to "Fred"
if ( firstName[ firstName.Lengt h - 2 ] == " " )
firstName = firstName.SubSt ring ( 0, firstName.Lengt h - 2 );
// convert "Freg JH" to "Fred"
else if firstName[ firstName.Lengt h - 3 ] == " " )
firstName = firstName.SubSt ring ( 0, firstName.Lengt h - 3 );

KC,
First, if the column is a string, you can most likely just cast it to a
string. Calling ToString is superfluous:
string tmpFirstName = (string) tmphashtable["FIRST_NAME "];
Then, you can call the Split method on the string, and get an array of
the parts delimited by whatever you choose. In this case, it would be a
space.
// The parts.
string[] parts = tmpFirstName.Sp lit(new char[]{' '});
The first name would be in the array at index 0 then.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Nicholas.. Splitting the string worked great..

I think a name like J Edgar [Hoover] would fail. I think the first thing you
should do is to scan the text for space characters. Only then should you try
to split the string. Don't. make the assumptions about the location of this
character.

Alternavily from splitting.
if (str.IndexOf(" ") != -1) str = str.Substring(0 , str.IndexOf(" "));
I hope this helps,

Out of curiosity, why is it better to use a string cast rather than
ToString()? Is it a performance issue?

I have a program that needs to do a small amount of relatively simple
parsing. The routines I've written work fine, but the code using them
is a bit long-winded.
I therefore had the idea of creating a class to do parsing. It could
be used as follows:
