How to replace characters in a mixed string?

[BrazilNut]

Hi guys! Can anyone please tell me why the code below is not working? Thanks!


private void tipoComboBox_SelectedValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tipoComboBox.SelectedIndex == 0)
{
string Str = valorTextBox.Text;
Str = Regex.Replace(Str, @"-", "");
valorTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
valorTextBox.Text = Str;
}

if (tipoComboBox.SelectedIndex == 1)
{
string Str = valorTextBox.Text;
Regex.Replace(Str, "R$", "-R$");
valorTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Red;
valorTextBox.Text = Str;
}
}

You should put a breakpoint on the first if statement in the code and debug it.

At any rate, why are you using Regex replace when String has it's own Replace method?

private void tipoComboBox_SelectedValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tipoComboBox.SelectedIndex == 0)
{
string Str = valorTextBox.Text.Replace("-", "");
valorTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
valorTextBox.Text = Str;
}

if (tipoComboBox.SelectedIndex == 1)
{
string Str = valorTextBox.Text.Replace(R$", "-R$");
valorTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Red;
valorTextBox.Text = Str;
}
}

Try this.
