Question

I am getting a string in the following format in the query string:

Arnstung%20Chew(20)

I want to convert it to just Arnstung Chew.

How do I do it?

Also how do I make sure that the user is not passing a script or anything harmful in the query string?

Answer 1

string str = "Arnstung Chew (20)";

string replacedString = str.Substring(0, str.IndexOf("(") -1 ).Trim();

string safeString = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(replacedString);
