String.Replace Method (Char, Char)

Returns a new string in which all occurrences of a specified Unicode character in this instance are replaced with another specified Unicode character.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

Public Function Replace ( _
	oldChar As Char, _
	newChar As Char _
) As String

public string Replace(
	char oldChar,
	char newChar
)

Visual C++

public:
String^ Replace(
	wchar_t oldChar, 
	wchar_t newChar
)

member Replace : 
        oldChar:char * 
        newChar:char -> string

Parameters

oldChar: Type: System.Char
The Unicode character to be replaced.

newChar: Type: System.Char
The Unicode character to replace all occurrences of oldChar.

Return Value

Type: System.String
A string that is equivalent to this instance except that all instances of oldChar are replaced with newChar.

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.

Examples

The following example creates a comma separated value list by substituting commas for the blanks between a series of numbers.

Visual Basic


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
' The example displays 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"


using System;

class stringReplace1 {
    public static void Main() {
        String str = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9";
        Console.WriteLine("Original string: \"{0}\"", str);
        Console.WriteLine("CSV string:      \"{0}\"", 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"
//

Visual C++


using namespace System;
int main()
{
   String^ str = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9";
   Console::WriteLine( "Original string: \"{0}\"", str );
   Console::WriteLine( "CSV string:      \"{0}\"", 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"
//
