Returns a new string in which all occurrences of a specified Unicode character in this instance are replaced with another specified Unicode character.
public:
System::String ^ Replace(char oldChar, char newChar);
public string Replace(char oldChar, char newChar);
member this.Replace : char * char -> string
Public Function Replace (oldChar As Char, newChar As Char) As String
Parameters
The Unicode character to be replaced.
The Unicode character to replace all occurrences of oldChar
.
A string that is equivalent to this instance except that all instances of oldChar
are replaced with newChar
. If oldChar
is not found in the current instance, the method returns the current instance unchanged.
The following example creates a comma separated value list by substituting commas for the blanks between a series of numbers.
string str = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9";
Console.WriteLine($"Original string: \"{str}\"");
Console.WriteLine($"CSV string: \"{str.Replace(' ', ',')}\"");
// This example produces the following output:
// Original string: "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
// CSV string: "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"
let str = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
printfn $"Original string: \"{str}\""
printfn $"CSV string: \"{str.Replace(' ', ',')}\""
// This example produces the following output:
// Original string: "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
// CSV string: "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"
Class stringReplace1
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim str As [String] = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
Console.WriteLine("Original string: ""{0}""", str)
Console.WriteLine("CSV string: ""{0}""", str.Replace(" "c, ","c))
End Sub
End Class
' This example produces the following output:
' Original string: "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
' CSV string: "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"
Remarks
This method performs an ordinal (case-sensitive and culture-insensitive) search to find oldChar
.
Note
This method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string in which all occurrences of oldChar
are replaced by newChar
.
Because this method returns the modified string, you can chain together successive calls to the Replace method to perform multiple replacements on the original string. Method calls are executed from left to right. The following example provides an illustration.
string s = new('a', 3);
Console.WriteLine($"The initial string: '{s}'");
s = s.Replace('a', 'b').Replace('b', 'c').Replace('c', 'd');
Console.WriteLine($"The final string: '{s}'");
// The example displays the following output:
// The initial string: 'aaa'
// The final string: 'ddd'
let s = new string('a', 3)
printfn $"The initial string: '{s}'"
let s2 = s.Replace('a', 'b').Replace('b', 'c').Replace('c', 'd')
printfn $"The final string: '{s2}'"
// The example displays the following output:
// The initial string: 'aaa'
// The final string: 'ddd'
Module Example
Public Sub Main()
Dim s As New String("a"c, 3)
Console.WriteLine("The initial string: '{0}'", s)
s = s.Replace("a"c, "b"c).Replace("b"c, "c"c).Replace("c"c, "d"c)
Console.WriteLine("The final string: '{0}'", s)
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' The initial string: 'aaa'
' The final string: 'ddd'
