Like StrDup in C#

[ultraman]

Is there a simple way of filling a string with a special caracter ("X" for example) in C# ? I'm looking for something as easy as StrDup in VB.

 

 

Thanks !

Here is a solution

 

This will do the trick.

 

string str = "";
str.PadRight( <TOTAL WIDTH>, [YOUR CHAR]);
str.PadLeft( <TOTAL WIDTH>, [YOUR CHAR]);

 

it will add them from left or from right.

 

1st parameter is the total number of character... so if you have less than the number... all the other will be filled with your character.

 

The default implementation (with 1 parameter) will pad with space.

 

To add a certain number of character... consider this function :

 

public string AddToRight(string src, char c, int num)
{
 string tmp = "";
 tmp = tmp.PadRight( num, c);

 return src + tmp;
}

Cool, that does the trick, just as you said. I still have a lot to learn in C#, syntax is not quite like VB.NET ;-)

string str = new string( 'X', 5); // result = "XXXXX"

Well ... this could replace the padding in my function :p lol
