Question

What is the PHP preg_replace in C#?

I have an array of string that I would like to replace by an other array of string. Here is an example in PHP. How can I do something like that in C# without using .Replace(‘old’,’new’).

$patterns[0] = '/=C0/'; $patterns[1] = '/=E9/'; $patterns[2] = '/=C9/';   $replacements[0] = 'à'; $replacements[1] = 'é'; $replacements[2] = 'é'; return preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $text); 

Answer 1

public static class StringManipulation {     public static string PregReplace(string input, string[] pattern, string[] replacements)     {         if (replacements.Length != pattern.Length)             throw new ArgumentException('Replacement and Pattern Arrays must be balanced');          for (int i = 0; i < pattern.Length; i++)         {             input = Regex.Replace(input, pattern[i], replacements[i]);                         }          return input;     } } 

Here is what I will use. Some code of Jonathan Holland but not in C#3.5 but in C#2.0 🙂

Thx all.
