Remove White Space Characters From String

Question

String variable stores value as like .. careteam order 4-26-11.csv

i need to trim the value .. in c# as like careteamorder4-26-11.csv - by removing the space ..!

how to remove empty space in the string variable ?

As pointed out below, "trim" is for removing white space on the front and/or end of your text value. Use "replace" to remove white space from anywhere in your string. — Zachary, Jun 23 '11 at 19:59

I would recommend .Replace(" ",String.Empty); – softwaredeveloper Jun 23 '11 at 19:58

Note that String.Replace returns the result of the replace operation; it doesn't actually mutate the string it's called on. – Martin Törnwall Jun 23 '11 at 19:58

@softwaredeveloper: Why? I use `String.Empty` as well, but honestly there is no good reason to prefer one over the other as long as you're consistent. – Ed S. Jun 23 '11 at 19:59

I've used `""` and `String.Empty` interchangably - is there a difference? – lhan Jun 23 '11 at 19:59

`String.Empty = ""`, there is no difference. – manji Jun 23 '11 at 20:01

There is no technical difference between `""` and `string.Empty`, but I think there is a readability difference. `" "` and `""` look much more alike than `" "` and `string.Empty`, so I personally read and understand the code quicker with `string.Empty` in this case. – Fredrik Mörk Jun 23 '11 at 20:03
@all because it is more readable. It can be hard to spot " " a single space and no space in the default Visual Studio Font. Just my experience. (Also technically please do read this http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brada/archive/2003/04/22/49997.aspx) to appreciate the suggestion. – softwaredeveloper Jun 23 '11 at 20:03

@software that depends. Jon Skeet prefers to use `""` (check the link I've posted previously in the comments) – BrunoLM Jun 23 '11 at 20:06

@software: That blog link puts cold water on your suggestion. – Jun 23 '11 at 20:07

    public string RemoveSpaceAfter(string inputString)
    {
        try
        {


            string[] Split = inputString.Split(new Char[] { ' ' });
            //SHOW RESULT
            for (int i = 0; i < Split.Length; i++)
            {
                fateh += Convert.ToString(Split[i]);
            }
            return fateh;
        }
        catch (Exception gg)
        {
            return fateh;
        }
    }
