What would be the fastest way to remove Newlines from a String in C#?

Question

Hi community,

I have a string that has some Environment.Newline in it. I'd like to strip those from the string and instead, replace the Newline with something like a comma.

What would be, in your opinion, the best way to do this using C#.NET 2.0?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The best way is the builtin way: Use string.Replace. Why do you need alternatives?

Answer 2

string sample = "abc" + Environment.NewLine + "def";

string replaced = sample.Replace(Environment.NewLine, ",");

Answer 3

Don't reinvent the wheel - just use myString.Replace(Environment.NewLine, ",")

Answer 4

Like this:

string s = "hello\nworld";
s = s.Replace(Environment.NewLine, ",");

Answer 5

why not:

string s = "foobar\ngork";
string v = s.Replace(Environment.NewLine,",");
System.Console.WriteLine(v);

Answer 6

Thanks for the quick answers. I was actually doing that, but thought that perhaps there was a better way. Silly me :)

Anyways, I'm also doing a Remove to remove the final comma.

Again, thanks :)
