Hi,
How do i parse a string "ABC 2005 (12)" and convert it to "ABC 2005
(Dec)" in C#?
The number within the brackets represent month..
am new to c# and breaking head for couple of hours over this seemingly
simple thing, would be glad if anybody could help.
Thanks in Advance,

Ajai,
Well, if you can extract the 12, then you can create a DateTime instance
(the year and the day and the time don't matter, as long as the month is
12). Once you have that, you can call the ToString method on the DateTime
instance, and pass the custom format string of "MMM" to get the abbreviated
month.
Then, you would insert the value back into the string. Regular
expressions might help you here, unless the record is positional (meaning
that values are always at the same position) in which case I would suggest
using regular string manipulation methods.

what is wrong with the "substring" and "indexof" ?

As suggested by the EggHead, use substring and indexof.
Alternately the following two lines will generate "2005 Dec" in a textbox
string[] strParts = "ABC 2005(12)".Split (new Char[] { ' ', '(', ')' });
textBox1.Text = (Convert.ToDate Time(strParts[1] + '/' +
strParts[2])).ToString("yy yy MMM");

Try this.
string whole = "ABC 2005 (12)";
int leftParenIndex = whole.IndexOf(" (");
string prefix = whole.Substring (0, leftParenIndex + 1);
string monthString = whole.Substring (leftParenIndex + 1);
string suffix = monthString(mon thString.IndexO f(")"));
monthString = monthString.Sub string(0, monthString.Ind exOf(")"));
DateTime firstOfMonth = new DateTime(DateTi me.Now.Year,
Convert.ToInt32 (monthString), 1);
string monthString = firstOfMonth.To String("MMM");
string result = prefix + monthString + suffix;

Thank you all for your ideas, shall try them out.

I was going to suggest
for(int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
s = s.Replace(Strin g.Format("({0}) ", i), String.Format(" ({0})", new
DateTime(2007, i, 1).ToString("MM M")));
but thought that the unnecessary looping was not such a good idea however
after seeing the amount of code that is required to slice and dice then
maybe it is not so bad.

Hey... I think you're on to something there. How about this minor
adjustment:
for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
{
string monthNumber = "(" + i.ToString() + ")";
if (s.IndexOf(mont hNumber) >= 0)
{
s = s.Replace(month Number, "(" + new DateTime(2000, i,
1).ToString("MM M") + ")");
break;
}
}
....which will replace the first one it finds and then stop. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |
