I've got a list of strings that look like this
String s = "Top-0001-V[5]"
and I need to switch the parts to this Pattern:
String sF = "0001-Top-V-[5]"
I already tried to split them at "-" and then adding them, but the problem is it's a really long line of code, is there a way of doing this in an easy way, or do i have to split it all the way up and add it back togehther?
This might do the trick for you
var items = s.Split('-');
items[items.Length - 1] = items[items.Length - 1].Replace("[","-[");
string x = String.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}", items[1], items[0], items[2]);
The output will be
0001-Top-V-[5]
You can also use String.Substring if the format of the string is common because String.Substring Retrieves a substring from this instance. The substring starts at a specified character position and has a specified length.
.Replace("[", "-[") at the end of the string format to get 0001-Top-V-[5].
A Regex might help:
var r = new Regex("(Top)-(\\d+)-(V)\\[(\\d+)\\]");
string result = r.Replace(myInout, "$2-$1-$3-[$4]")
Really long line of code?- how long? why so? why do you consider it too long?<1>-<2>-<3>[<4>], where<1>should be swapped with<2>and between<3>and[<4>]should be a-.
