You may want to try regular expressions...

I have a text file of the following format "apple","orange","pear" etc I have tried both char and string seperators but can't think of a way grab the data cleanly without including a " or , . I either end up with "apple" "orange" "pear" or "apple orange pear" The code I have been using.
private static char[] charSeperator = new char[] { ',' };private static string[] strSeperator = new string[] {"\",\""};strArray = strLine.Split(charSeperator);strArray = strLine.Split(strSeperator,StringSplitOptions.None);Is there a simple way of grabing apple orange and pear from the text file, without having to do further data cleaning? Thanks in advance for any help you can offerHaz
using System.Text.RegularExpressions; // the namespace for using Substring strArray = strLine.Split(new char[] { ',' }; // Use this still, but with the modifications below foreach (string fruit in strArray) // a loop that runs for every piece of fruit in strArray { int fruitlength = fruit.Length; // getting the length of the fruit string fruitlength = fruitlength - 2; // subtracting 2 because of quotes string trimmedfruit = fruit; trimmedfruit = fruit.Substring(1,fruitlength); // basically the method Substring(start,length) // and the first letter starts at 0 and length is how many you want to cut out // so I took the total length of string "apple", subtracted 2 because of quotes // then started the trim at 1 just after the first qoute and pulled out all the letters // minus the qoutes }

Sorry, but, what are you thinking ? Substring is a method on a class, you don't need a namespace to call it. string trimmedFruit = fruit.Replace("\"", ""); is even easier.

Your right, didn't realise. Still learning, on week 1 and a half now. At the point when I was learning how to use regular expressions I must have stumbled on to substring and assumed it was part of the namespace. and I didn't know replace even existed

I used similar code to split it. Heres some code, maybe it can help u. Input text same as u : "apple","orange","pear" etc assume the string named "str"
string[] strArray = str.split(',');
for (int i=0;iTraining makes perfect....
