Hi Folks, I have a string.."Desktop Development Web Development Multimedia Development". Now i want a 20 character string "Desk Dev Web Dev" like this...pls help

split the string with ' '(space char, e.g. string.split(' ')) and then iterate all the splitted parts, rip first 3 or 4 chars by using string.Substring() plus keep append a main string.

If you need first three characters of each word, then you use Split and Substring. In the example you gave, you have taken "Desk" from desktop ie 4 characters and 3 characters from others. The number of characters to be taken from a word is not fixed. It depends on the word. Now if the string changes to say "Development Web Development Multimedia Development". How do you want this to be divided?

There's a one-liner for everything. ;)

words = string.Join(" ", words.Split().Select(s => s.Substring(0, 3)).ToArray());

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Never. It's an extension method, and it's in the IEnumerable<T> class.

so its a LINQ thing, listen mate. I use .Net Framework 2.0 usually as most of users do not have 3.0(+).

Listen mate, it's just a one-liner. If you don't understand it, it only means that you have more to learn...
