Question

If I have a string like SMITH 9-2 #3-10H13 how can I modify the 9-2 to be 09-02 using C#? Another example is RODGER 3-1 #5-11H17 would be RODGER 03-01 #5-11H17. Another is GWIN 10-3 #6-11H12 would be GWIN 10-03 #6-11H12. and so on.. I’m stumped.

Not the prettiest code but here you go

        String text = "SMITH 9-2 #3-10H13";

        String[] values = text.Split(' ');

        String v = values[1];

        String[] numbers = v.Split('-');

        String newValue = numbers[0].PadLeft(2, '0') + '-' + numbers[1].PadLeft(2, '0');

        String newText = text.Replace(" " + values[1] + " ", " " + newValue + " ");
