Question

I have to split the word in a sentence which contains more than 40 letters….

   **For Example:**

    Hi Pranesh....I am new to C# asp.Net...**pranuvideotitlepranuvideotitlepranutitleppranuvideotitlepranuvideotitlepranutitlep**

I want to find the word which contains more than 40 letters and want to delete the letters from the word so that it contains only 40letters….

Thanks

I love extension methods!

I would do something like this:

 public static string Truncate(this string s, int maxLength) {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) || maxLength <= 0)
            return string.Empty;
        else if (s.Length > maxLength)
            return s.Substring(0, maxLength) + "&hellip;";
        else
            return s;
 }

EDIT: The question wasn’t very clear. If you want to strip out all words less than 40 characters you could so something like:

 public string FindBigWords(string s) {
        Regex regEx = new Regex(@"\s+");
        string[] tokens = regEx.Split(s);
        string ret = "";
        foreach (var t in tokens) {
            if (t.Length > 40)
                ret += t;
        }
        return ret;
 }

Note I haven’t tested the above and it’s not very efficient. Probably want to change it to at least use a stringbuilder.
