C# String Replace Method

In c#, the string Replace method is used to replace a specified string or a character in all occurrences of the given string.

 

The replace method will return a new string after replacing all occurrences of a specified string or a character.

 

Following is the pictorial representation of the replace method in the c# programming language.

 

C# String Replace Method Representation Diagram

 

If you observe the above diagram, we are replacing the “Hi” word in a given string “Hi Guest Hi” with “Welcome” using the Replace method. Once the replacement is done, the Replace method will return a new string like “Welcome Guest Welcome”.

C# String Replace Method Syntax

Following is the syntax of defining a Replace method to replace a particular part of a string or a character in the c# programming language.

 

public string Replace(char oldchar, char newchar)
public string Replace(string oldstring, string newstring)

If you observe syntax, the Replace method will replace all occurrences of oldchar / oldstring with newchar / newstring in a given string and return it as a new string.

C# String Replace Method Example

Following is the example of using the Replace() method to replace a particular part of a string or a character c# programming language.

 

using System;

namespace Tutlane
{
    class Program
    {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           string msg = "Hi Guest Hi";
           string nmsg = msg.Replace("Hi", "Welcome");
           Console.WriteLine("Old: {0}", msg);
           Console.WriteLine("New: {0}", nmsg);

           string x = "aaaaa";
           string nx = x.Replace("a", "b").Replace("b", "c");
           Console.WriteLine("Old: {0}", x);
           Console.WriteLine("New: {0}", nx);

           string y = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7";
           string ny = y.Replace(" ", ",");
           Console.WriteLine("Old: {0}", y);
           Console.WriteLine("New: {0}", by);

           Console.WriteLine("\nPress Enter Key to Exit..");
           Console.ReadLine();
       }
    }
}

If you observe the above example, we used a Replace() method to replace a particular part of a string or a character in a given string and returning a new string.

 

When you execute the above c# program, you will get the result as shown below.

This is how we can use Replace() method to replace a particular part of a string or a character in the c# programming language.
