String Remove Question

[netman06]

Hello,

I'm trying to remove these two char's from this string and it has many different user names, so this data changes, but the last two KB will never change.

I currently have it removing only the text within () and now I need to remove the KB

Can you see where I'm making my mistake.

//string s = "User name (2048.0 KB)";
            string s = textBox1.Text.ToString();

            int start = s.IndexOf("(") + 1;
            int end = s.IndexOf(")", start);
            string result = s.Substring(start, end - start);

            result.Remove(0, 2);

            textBox2.Text = result;

Thanks,

I figure it out
string result2 = result1.Remove((result1.Length -2),2);

Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to step through the code in a debugger and look at each line as it is processed.

If I read things correctly, I think you are trying to extract the number out of the string (e.g. "User name (2048.0 KB)" => "2048.0").

If so, change your end index to
int end = s.LastIndexOf(" ");

and remove the result.Remove(0, 2); call

//string s = "User name (2048.0 KB)";
string s = textBox1.Text.ToString();

int start = s.IndexOf("(") + 1;
int end = s.LastIndexOf(" ");

string result = s.Substring(start, end - start);

textBox2.Text = result;

If this isn't it, please post the a couple of examples of what the string looks like before and after.
