Adding a newline into a string in C#

Question

I have a string.

string strToProcess = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";

I need to add a newline after every occurence of "@" symbol in the string.

My Output should be like this

fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@
dfsdfjk72388389@
kdkfkdfkkl@
jkdjkfjd@
jjjk@

Answer 1

Use Environment.NewLine whenever you want in any string. An example:

string text = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";

text = text.Replace("@", "@" + System.Environment.NewLine);

Answer 2

You can add a new line character after the @ symbol like so:

string newString = oldString.Replace("@", "@\n");  

You can also use the NewLine property in the Environment Class (I think it is Environment).

Answer 3

The previous answers come close, but to meet the actual requirement that the @ symbol stay close, you'd want that to be str.Replace("@", "@" + System.Environment.NewLine). That will keep the @ symbol and add the appropriate newline character(s) for the current platform.

Answer 4

Then just modify the previous answers to:

Console.Write(strToProcess.Replace("@", "@" + Environment.NewLine));

If you don't want the newlines in the text file, then don't preserve it.

Answer 5

A simple string replace will do the job. Take a look at the example program below:

using System;

namespace NewLineThingy
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string str = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";
            str = str.Replace("@", "@" + Environment.NewLine);
            Console.WriteLine(str);
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

Answer 6

as others have said new line char will give you a new line in a text file in windows. try the following:

using System;
using System.IO;

static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        WriteToFile
        (
        @"C:\test.txt",
        "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@",
        "@"
        );

        /*
        output in test.txt in windows =
        fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@
        dfsdfjk72388389@
        kdkfkdfkkl@
        jkdjkfjd@
        jjjk@ 
        */
    }

    public static void WriteToFile(string filename, string text, string newLineDelim)
    {
        bool equal = Environment.NewLine == "\r\n";

        //Environment.NewLine == \r\n = True
        Console.WriteLine("Environment.NewLine == \\r\\n = {0}", equal);

        //replace newLineDelim with newLineDelim + a new line
        //trim to get rid of any new lines chars at the end of the file
        string filetext = text.Replace(newLineDelim, newLineDelim + Environment.NewLine).Trim();

        using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(File.OpenWrite(filename)))
        {
            sw.Write(filetext);
        }
    }
}

Answer 7

string strToProcess = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";
var result = strToProcess.Replace("@", "@ \r\n");
Console.WriteLine(result);

Output

Answer 8

string str = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";
str = str.Replace("@", Environment.NewLine);
richTextBox1.Text = str;

Answer 9

Based on your replies to everyone else, something like this is what you're looking for.

string file = @"C:\file.txt";
string strToProcess = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";
string[] lines = strToProcess.Split(new char[] { '@' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(file))
{
    foreach (string line in lines)
    {
        writer.WriteLine(line + "@");
    }
}

Answer 10

Change your string as mentioned below.

string strToProcess = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk"+ System.Environment.NewLine +" dfsdfjk72388389"+ System.Environment.NewLine +"kdkfkdfkkl"+ System.Environment.NewLine +"jkdjkfjd"+ System.Environment.NewLine +"jjjk"+ System.Environment.NewLine;

Answer 11

You could also use string[] something = text.Split('@'). Make sure you use single quotes to surround the "@" to store it as a char type. This will store the characters up to and including each "@" as individual words in the array. You can then output each (element + System.Environment.NewLine) using a for loop or write it to a text file using System.IO.File.WriteAllLines([file path + name and extension], [array name]). If the specified file doesn't exist in that location it will be automatically created.

Answer 12

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string str = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";
    str = str.Replace("@", "@" + "<br/>");
    Response.Write(str);       
}

Answer 13

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
             string strToProcess = "fkdfdsfdflkdkfk@dfsdfjk72388389@kdkfkdfkkl@jkdjkfjd@jjjk@";
            strToProcess.Replace("@", Environment.NewLine);
            Console.WriteLine(strToProcess);
    }
}
