Question

If i have a string containing three 0 values, how would i grab them one by one in order to replace them?

the 0’s could be located anywhere in the string.

i don’t want to use regex.

example string to parse:

String myString = "hello 0 goodbye 0 clowns are cool 0"; 

right now i can only find the three 0 values if they are right next to each other. i replace them using stringToParse.Replace("0", "whatever value i want to replace it with");

I want to be able to replace each instance of 0 with a different value…

You can do something like this:

var strings = myString.Split('0');
var replaced = new StringBuilder(strings[0]);

for (var i = 1; i < strings.Length; ++i)
{
    replaced.Append("REPLACED " + i.ToString());
    replaced.Append(strings[i]);
}
