Question

Here is the problem. I am working on a project in WPF and C# with 4.0 .net platform. I have a string which i got from a textbox with Accepts return = “true”. The string is as follows

string P = @"Copyright 1995-2010 BYTES.
            All rights Reserved.
            Formerly "TheScripts.com" from 2005-2008";

Now i want to detect when the carriage return character is encountered. So that i can cut the string short to just “Copyright 1995-2010 BYTES.” and remove all the characters after carriage return is encountered.

I tried doing this

string ip = datarow[0].ToString();
string trimed= ip.TrimEnd(new char[] {'\r','\n'});
profileFNcb.Items.Add(trimed);    

NOT WORKING PLEASE HELP GUYS

Answer 1

Use string.Split with Environment.NewLine in order to split the string on line breaks:

myString.Split(new [] {Environment.NewLine}, 
               StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

This results in a string array containing each line.

To get the first line, assuming the returned string[] is in a lines variable:

string firstLine = lines[0]; // firstLine = "Copyright 1995-2010 BYTES."

The reasons your solution is not working – the TrimEnd only removes the characters from the end of the string, not the middle.
