In c#, the string Replace method is used to replace a specified string or a character in all occurrence of given string.
The replace method will return a new string after replacing all occurrences of specified string or a character.
Following is the pictorial representation of replace method in c# programming language.
If you observe above diagram, we are replacing “Hi” word in given string “Hi Guest Hi” with “Welcome” using Replace method. Once the replacement is done, then the Replace method will return a new string like “Welcome Guest Welcome”.
Following is the syntax of defining a Replace method to replace a particular part of string or a character in 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 given string and return it as a new string.
Following is the example of using Replace() method to replace a particular part of 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}", ny);
Console.WriteLine("\nPress Enter Key to Exit..");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
If you observe above example, we used a Replace() method to replace particular part of string or a character in given string and returning a new string.
When we execute above c# program, we will get the result like as shown below.
This is how we can use Replace() method to replace a particular part of string or a character in c# programming language.
