I can't find how to split a Console.WriteLine text without creating a new line in the program. I mean, my code line is too long and it's uncomforable to scroll horizontally in order to check it
Console.WriteLine("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla")
the result is only a line of text in the console (Might be split because of its length, but keeps being the same line)
into the same, but in different lines in the code, giving the same result. I've tried just splitting them with a new code of line as if it was common code like this:
Console.WriteLine("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla
BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla
BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla
BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla")
and the result keeps being a line of text in the console
But looks like it's not the right way.
Sorry if it's stupid. Thanks
There's not a way to split a string literal in C# without embedding the line breaks in the string. The typical way to split a line like that is:
Console.WriteLine("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla" +
"BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla" +
"BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla" +
"BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla");
If your string has line breaks, then you can use the literal string identifier #:
Console.WriteLine(#"This is one line followed by a carriage return
this is the second line of the string
and this is the third line");
You can use Console.Write instead and call it multiple times. Call WriteLine once at the end either as a part of the all or with an empty string to ensure you start on a new line when you are done with that string.
Console.Write("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla");
Console.Write("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla");
Console.Write("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla");
Console.Write("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla");
Console.WriteLine("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla");
Console.WriteLine("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla" +
"BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla" +
"BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla" +
"BlaBla");
If you have Resharper installed hitting enter inside of a string will automatically format the new line and add the + for you.
The best you can do is split long string into substrings and concat them before output:
Console.WriteLine("BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla"
+ "BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla"
+ "BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla")
If you only are going to write Bla then do
for(int i = 0; i < /*Amount of Bla's here*/; i++){
Console.Write("Bla");
}

Short question: I have a string in my resources: "This is my test string {0}\n\nTest"
I'm trying to display this string in my Messagebox:
MessageBox.Show(String.Format(Properties.Resources.About,
Constants.VERSION),
Properties.Resources.About_Title, MessageBoxButton.OK,
MessageBoxImage.Information);
However I don't get new lines. The \n still show up as characters, not as new lines.
I also tried to use a workaround like mystring.Replace("\n", Environment.NewLine) but this also doesn't change anything.
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Funny thing to mention: Replace("\n", "somethingelse") doesn't change anything.
Edit2: Shift+Enter in my Resource-File instead of \n seems to work... Strange behaviour anyway
Put a place holder where you want to put new line and in the code where you use that resource string, just replace it with new line: string resource: "This is first line.{0}This is second line.{0}This is third line." You will use this resource string like this: MessageBox.Show(string.Format(MyStringResourceClass.MyStringPropertyName, Environment.NewLine));
OR
Unconventional Method
But i just now got it working by coping newline from word directly (or anyother place) & pasting it inside the resource string file.
It was simple..
OR
\r\n characters will be converted to new line when you display it by using message box or assign it to text box or whenever you use it in interface.
In C# (like most C derived languages), escape characters are used to denote special characters such as return and tab, and + is used in place of & for string concatenation.
To make your code work under C# you’ve got two options... the first is to simply replace the NewLine with the return escape character \n ala:
MessageBox.Show("this is first line" + "\n" + "this is second line");
The other method, and more correct is to replace it instead with Environment.NewLine which theoretically could change depending on the system you are using (however unlikely).
MessageBox.Show("this is first line" + Environment.NewLine + "this is second line");
In the resource editor seperate your string content by using shift+enter. Or else, edit your ResX file in xml editor and using enter key create a new line for your resource string.
Refer this link for detail info: Carriage Return/Line in ResX file.
Try this:
String outputMessage = string.Format("Line 1{0}Line 2{0}Line 3", Environment.NewLine);
MessageBox.Show(outputMessage);
A further example with another variable:
String anotherValue = "Line 4";
String outputMessage = string.Format("Line 1{0}Line 2{0}Line 3{0}{1}", Environment.NewLine, anotherValue);
MessageBox.Show(outputMessage);
Try this
removing the MessageBoxButtons.OK and MessageBoxImage. Information.
MessageBox.Show(String.Format(Properties.Resources.About,
Constants.VERSION),
Properties.Resources.About_Title);
I'm sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find the answer which fit my needs
I have a richTextBox in c# and I want to get a continuous string of text of the contents
The problem is .Text will get something like:
First line \n Second Line \n Third Line
and what I need is:
First line Second Line Third Line
I don't want to directly parse the \n as it might be relevant to the text I'm retrieving but I don't want it added based on the lines of the richTextBox
Any ideas? Any help is gratefully appreciated.
If I understand correctly, would this work for you?
string text = richTextBox.Text.Replace(Environment.NewLine, " ");
The alternative could be to use the regex from this answer.
string text = Regex.Replace(richTextBox.Text, #"\r\n?|\n", " ");
So I have a textbox where I want an address to be stored, but as a single line. To get the address in there I will always do a copy and paste, and the issue is that where I copy it from, it is multiline, so when I paste it, it only shows the first line. I know I can change it into a multiline textbox and then use backspace to make it one line, but I'm just wondering if there is a way I can just make it single line with code.
textBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText().Replace(Environment.NewLine, " ");
Try,
textBox1.Text = textBox2.Text.Replace("\r\n", " ");
EDIT:
String singleLine=multiLine.Replace("\r\n"," ");
You can remove '\n' characters from the input and '\r' as well.
What I have is a C# windows app that reads a bunch of SQL tables and creates a bunch of queries based on the results. What I'm having a small issue with is the final "," on my query
This is what I have
ColumnX,
from
I need to read the entire file, write out exactly what is in the file and just replace the last , before the from with nothing.
I tried .replace(#",\n\nfrom),(#"\n\nfrom) but it's not finding it. Any help is appreciated.
Example:
ColumnX,
from
Result:
ColumnX
from
The line break is most likely the two character combination CR + LF:
.replace(",\r\n\r\nfrom","\r\n\r\nfrom")
If you want the line break for the current system, you can use the Environment.NewLine constant:
.replace(","+Environment.NewLine+Environment.NewLine+"from",Environment.NewLine+Environment.NewLine+"from")
Note that the # in front of a string means that it doesn't use backslash escape sequences, but on the other hand it can contain line breaks, so you could write it in this somewhat confusing way:
str = str.replace(#",
from", #"
from");
There are two solutions that you can try:
Remove the # symbol, as that means it's going to look for the literal characters of \n rather than a newline.
Try .replace("," + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + from, Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + "from)
Instead of replacing or removing the comma when you read the file, it would probably be preferable to remove it before the file is written. That way you only have to bother with the logic once. As you are building your column list, just remove the last comma after the list is created. Hopefully you are in a position where you have control over that process.
If you can assume you always want to remove the last occurrence of the comma you can use the string function LastIndexOf to find the index for the last comma and use Remove from there.
myString = myString.Remove(myString.LastIndexOf(","), 1);
What about using Regex? Does that handle different forms of linefeed better?
var result = Regex.Replace(input, #",(\n*)from", "$1from");
I have written code in C# which is exceeding page width, so I want it to be broken into next line according to my formatting. I tried to search a lot to get that character for line break but was not able to find out.
In VB.NET I use '_' for line break, same way what is used in C#?
I am trying to break a string.
In C# there's no 'new line' character like there is in VB.NET. The end of a logical 'line' of code is denoted by a ';'. If you wish to break the line of code over multiple lines, just hit the carriage return (or if you want to programmatically add it (for programmatically generated code) insert 'Environment.NewLine' or '\r\n'.
Edit: In response to your comment: If you wish to break a string over multiple lines (i.e. programmatically), you should insert the Environment.NewLine character. This will take the environment into account in order to create the line ending. For instance, many environments, including Unix/Linux only use a NewLine character (\n), but Windows uses both carriage return and line feed (\r\n). So to break a string you would use:
string output = "Hello this is my string\r\nthat I want broken over multiple lines."
Of course, this would only be good for Windows, so before I get flamed for incorrect practice you should actually do this:
string output = string.Format("Hello this is my string{0}that I want broken over multiple lines.", Environment.NewLine);
Or if you want to break over multiple lines in your IDE, you would do:
string output = "My string"
+ "is split over"
+ "multiple lines";
Option A: concatenate several string literal into one:
string myText = "Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity" +
" - distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless.";
Option B: use a single multiline string literal:
string myText = #"Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity
- distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless.";
With option B, the newline character(s) will be part of the string saved into variable myText. This might, or might not, be what you want.
result = "Minimum MarketData"+ Environment.NewLine
+ "Refresh interval is 1";
Use # symbol before starting the string.
like
string s = #"this is a really
long string
and this is
the rest of it";
If I am understanding this correctly, you should be able to break the string into substrings to accomplish this.
i.e.:
string s = "this is a really long string" +
"and this is the rest of it";
C# doesn't have an explicit line break character. You statements end with a semicolon so you can span your statements over many lines. These are both the same:
public string GenerateString()
{
return "abc" + "def";
}
public string GenerateString()
{
return
"abc" +
"def";
}
All you need to do is add \n or to write on files go \r\n.
Examples:
say you wanted to write duck(line break) cow this is how you would do it
Console.WriteLine("duck\n cow");
Edit: I think I didn't understand the question. You can use
#"duck
cow".Replace("\r\n", "")
as a linebreak in code, that produces \r\n which is used Windows.
C# code can be split between lines on pretty much any syntatic construct without a need for a '_' style construct.
For example
foo.
Bar(
42
, "again");
dt = abj.getDataTable(
"select bookrecord.userid,usermaster.userName, "
+" book.bookname,bookrecord.fromdate, "
+" bookrecord.todate,bookrecord.bookstatus "
+" from book,bookrecord,usermaster "
+" where bookrecord.bookid='"+ bookId +"' "
+" and usermaster.userId=bookrecord.userid "
+" and book.bookid='"+ bookId +"'");
guys.. use resources for long strings in code behind!!
also.. you don't need an _ for codeline breaks in C#. In VB the codelines end with a newline character (or a ':'), using the the _ would tell the parser it has not reached the end of the line yet. The codeline in C# ends with a ';' so you can use newlines to styleformat your code.
Strings are immutable, so using
public string GenerateString()
{
return
"abc" +
"def";
}
will slow you performance - each of those values is a string literal which must be concatenated at runtime - bad news if you reuse the method/property/whatever alot...
Store your string literals in resources is a good idea...
public string GenerateString()
{
return Resources.MyString;
}
That way it is localisable and the code is tidy (although performance is pretty terrible).
