Question

I have a string representation exactly like ‘ComputerName — IPAddress’; i.e:

‘samarena — 192.168.1.97’

. I want to get only the ‘ComputerName’ part from the actual representation by removing other characters. I’m actually quite beginner in using string.FormatMethods() .

Please help me out.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This should do it:

string test = "samarena -- 192.168.1.97";
var result = test.Split(new string[] { "--" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[0].Trim();

Result will equal samarena
