How do you select the nth char of a string?

[Fiveohhh]

Just curious about how you would do this.

say you have string "abcdeft"

I want to grab the 4th element('e') and put it into something else.

You can index strings in C# just like you would an array.

so mystring[3] would return the 4'th character in the string.

edit: After rereading your post.... the 4th element of your string is 'd', not 'e'. 'e' happens to be at index 4, but it is the 5th element in the string.

"abcdeft"[3]

Treat it like a character array. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-u....chars%28VS.80%29.aspx

Thanks for the info, I tired searching msdn, but I need to revise my search strings as I didn't get much for results


edit: back button didn't work so well there

mystring.Remove(indexToStart, numberOfItemsToRemove);

BTW, this is all in the MSDN which is a great place to find all this stuff. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-u...ary/system.string.aspx

Cool, thought it was something simple. Is there anyway to remove that char and have the rest collapse in on that spot?

Usually I search for the type of the object that I'm looking to manipulate and browse from there to find what I need. MSDN is usually pretty good about providing links between various pages of related information.
