Get Second to last character position from string
(10 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
* I cannot delete this duplicate question because someone has answered it *
I have file names formatted CustomerInfoDaily.12042014.080043 and CustomerInfoDaily.A.12042014.080043 I'm trying to get the base name (CustomerInfoDaily) and the base suffix (.12042014.080043) using substrings. There is no limit to the number of periods however the suffix is always .\d{8}.\d{8}
string fn = "CustomerInfoDaily.A.12042014.080043";
string baseFileName = fn.Substring(0, fn.LastIndexOf(".",fn.Length-1,fn.Length));
string baseSuffix = fn.Substring(fn.LastIndexOf(".", 0, 2));
The problem is that you can say you want the first or last dot but there is no saying that you want the second to the last instance of the dot.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Consider using string.Split:
string fn = "CustomerInfoDaily.A.12042014.080043";
var split = fn.Split('.');
var last = split.LastOrDefault();
var secondLast = split.Skip(split.Length - 2).FirstOrDefault();

How do I get the last four characters from a string in C#?
(27 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am given a contact number by a customer.
The client that this number is given to requires the first number to be omitted from the result.
I have used Regex to do this, but I'm curious if there is a more optimal way to do this.
var mobileNumber = "07123123123";
var homeNumber = "01511231231";
var pattern = "(.{10})$";
var omittedMobile = Regex.Split(mobileNumber, pattern)[1];
var omittedHome = Regex.Split(homeNumber, pattern)[1];
var mobileNumber = "07123123123";
var homeNumber = "01511231231";
I receive: 07123123123 - I provide 7123123123
Why not treat it as a simple string and remove the first character?
mobileNumber.Substring(1);
//or
mobileNumber.Remove(0, 1);
Using string function Substring(int startIndex),
var mobileNumber = "07123123123";
Console.WriteLine(mobileNumber.Substring(1));

I have a string variable called price which contains a range of price pattern as you can see in code. I want to filter it by its first part only.
string price = "9.99 - 12.99";
i already tried like bellow but this gives me wrong output something like ".99" however this is not my target output i am looking for.
string result = price.Substring(1, price.IndexOf("-") - 1);
The output i want like this- "9.99". Now can i filter this part from that string? Thanks in advance
Strings in C# are zero-based, so when you set the starting character as 1, you're in fact starting from the second character. Just use 0 and you should be OK:
string result = price.Substring(0, price.IndexOf("-") - 1);
Note, by the way, that you could use the full " - " delimiter instead of playing around with index arithmetic:
string result = price.Substring(0, price.IndexOf(" - "));
You're close but note that strings are 0 indexed:
string result = price.Substring(0, price.IndexOf("-") - 1);

I have some code that does what I want it to do but I want to know if there's a quicker way to do what I want.
The user will input their names and I want to make sure that their name is as close to this format as possible:
john > John
julie > Julie
My code:
// First Name
s_in_GetUserFirstName = s_in_GetUserFirstName.ToLower();
c_in_UserFirstNameFirstChar = s_in_GetUserFirstName[0];
s_in_UserFirstNameFirstChar = c_in_UserFirstNameFirstChar.ToString().ToUpper();
s_in_GetUserFirstName = s_in_GetUserFirstName.Remove(0, 1);
s_in_GetUserFirstName = s_in_UserFirstNameFirstChar + s_in_GetUserFirstName;
// Last Name
s_in_GetUserLastName = s_in_GetUserLastName.ToLower();
c_in_UserLastNameFirstChar = s_in_GetUserLastName[0];
s_in_UserLastNameFirstChar = c_in_UserLastNameFirstChar.ToString().ToUpper();
s_in_GetUserLastName = s_in_GetUserLastName.Remove(0, 1);
s_in_GetUserLastName = s_in_UserLastNameFirstChar + s_in_GetUserLastName;
What I do is split the string into two parts, the first char and the rest. I capitalise the first character and remove that character from the string. Then I combine strings into one.
You can do this in a single line like this
test.Substring(0,1).ToUpper()+test.Substring(1);
Or do this as Rob suggested in comment

How to remove a string from a string
(4 answers)

I've this kind of string.
FullName:ae876ggfg777878848adgf877
And I want to remove "FullName:", so the output as follows:
ae876ggfg777878848adgf877
How can I do that?
I tried this:
var index = myText.IndexOf(":");
var result = myText.Remove(index);
But the output is like this:
FullName
Which I do not expect.
IndexOf returns the index of whatever string/character you give it, so in your case, the index of :.
Remove, according to the documentation:
Returns a new string in which all the characters in the current instance, beginning at a specified position and continuing through the last position, have been deleted.
So what's happening here is you're removing everything after and including the :
You should be using String.Replace:
string removed = myText.Replace("FullName:", "");
Use String.Substring() and get the start index by using String.IndexOf('character') + 1.
string s = "FullName:ae876ggfg777878848adgf877";
Console.WriteLine(s.Substring(s.IndexOf(':')+1));

How to get the last five characters of a string using Substring() in C#?
(12 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have a string that could look like this: smithj_Website1 or it could look like this rodgersk_Website5 etc, etc. I want to be able to store in a string what is after the "_". So IE (Website1, Website5,..)
Thanks
Should be a simple as using substring
string mystr = "test_Website1"
string theend = mystr.SubString(mystr.IndexOf("_") + 1)
// theend = "Website1"
mystr.IndexOf("_") will get the position of the _ and adding one to it will get the index of the first character after it. Then don't pass in a second parameter and it will automatically take the substring starting at the character after the _ and stopping and the end of the string.
int startingIndex = inputstring.IndexOf("_") + 1;
string webSite = inputstring.Substring(startingIndex);
or, in one line:
string webSite = inputstring.Substring(inputstring.IndexOf("_") + 1);
