replace

[Etu]

Hi,

I have a string:

string c = "'abc' \"cde\", 'mno' \"xyz\",";

how can I use the c.Replace(???, ???) method to have this string:

"'abc' "cde", 'mno' "xyz","
that is, all the backslashes are removed.

Thanks,

Etu

In the line of code you wrote:

string c = "'abc' \"cde\", 'mno' \"xyz\",";

there are no backslashes in the string. The backslashes you see are
only a typographical convention that tells the compiler that the
double-quote that follows each backslash is not the double-quote that
ends the string, but that it should instead place a double-quote
character in the string.

The string stored internally after compilation looks like this:

'abc' "cde", 'mno' "xyz",

What are you trying to do in your program and what problems are you
encountering, since backslashes in the string don't appear to be what's
wrong?

string c = "'abc' \"cde\", 'mno' \"xyz\",";
string clearString = c.Replace('\\', ' '); // You must type backslash twice

That's All

Thanks Bruce!

The problem I have is actually my program first reads some strings
(with \t, \" and so on) from an XML file and writes these strings to an
Excel file. After the Excel file is saved, \t becomes a space and \"
becomes ". Then when my program later reads the strings from the Excel
file, it doesn't think the strings are the same as those in the XML
file.

That is why I was trying to modify the strings from the XML file by
getting rid of the backslashes - try to do the same thing that Excel
does, but could not find a way to do so.

Thanks

Thanks SerhaD. However, I tried your code but could not get what I
want.

Yes but will this make any difference... to the out put... c and clearString
both are same as you out them...???

private void RegEx_Click(obj ect sender, System.EventArg s e)

{

string c = "'abc' \"cde\", 'mno' \"xyz\",";

try

{

textBox1.Text = c.Replace('\\', ' '); // Second parameter is a blank char

}

catch(Exception ex)

{
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message);

}

}

and Result is = 'abc' "cde", 'mno' "xyz",

I Tried several times , do u get different output or Error ?
