What is this?

A library of extension methods for the string class that make work with text easier.

How do I get started?

Add using IvanStoychev.Useful.String.Extensions; And call methods on any string.

Video Demonstration

(Will open in YouTube)

Examples:

Remove all occurrences of a collection of strings

string testString = "To buy: Eggs. eggs. Jam. Ham. Milk. ham. Bread. Bread";
List<string> stringsToRemove = new() { "Eggs. ", "Ham. ", ". Bread" };
string outputDefault = testString.Remove(stringsToRemove);
string outputIgnoreCase = testString.Remove(stringsToRemove, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
Console.WriteLine(outputDefault);
Console.WriteLine(outputIgnoreCase);

// Result
// ------
// outputDefault    = "To buy: eggs. Jam. Milk. ham"
// outputIgnoreCase = "To buy: Jam. Milk"

.

Replace all occurrences of a collection of strings with another string

string testString = "Gold. Gems. Jewels. Trinkets. More gems. More jewels!";
List<string> oldStrings = new() { "Gems", "Jewels", "Trinkets" };
string outputDefault = testString.Replace("gold", oldStrings);
string outputIgnoreCase = testString.Replace("gold", oldStrings, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
Console.WriteLine(outputDefault);
Console.WriteLine(outputIgnoreCase);

// Result
// ------
// outputDefault    = "Gold. gold. gold. gold. More gems. More jewels!"
// outputIgnoreCase = "Gold. gold. gold. gold. More gold. More gold!"

.

Select everything between two substrings

string testString = "We start on Monday and we finish on Tuesday.";
string startString = "start on ";
string endString = " and we finish";
string outputDefault = testString.Substring(startString, endString);
string outputFull = testString.Substring(startString, endString, StringInclusionOptions.IncludeAll);
Console.WriteLine(outputDefault);
Console.WriteLine(outputFull);

// Result
// ------
// outputDefault = "Monday"
// outputFull    = "start on Monday and we finish"

.

Select everything after/before a substring

string testString = "In the beginning there was bread. In the end there was jam.";
string startString = "bread. ";
string endString = " In the end";
string outputStart = testString.SubstringStart(endString);
string outputEnd = testString.SubstringEnd(startString);
Console.WriteLine(outputStart);
Console.WriteLine(outputEnd);

// Result
// ------
// outputStart = "In the beginning there was bread."
// outputEnd   = "In the end there was jam."

.

All methods have a detailed summary. For a complete list of all methods in the library and details on them consult the wiki.
