Hello,

I have different strings like

C#

string s = "11.2.1";
string s1 = "53.12.1";
string s2 = "9.2.11";
string s3 = "1.12.1";

And I want Output like

C#

s = "110201";
s1 = "531201";
s2 = "090211";
s3 = "011201";

Note: String's length is always less than 9 and there is always 2 numbers before and after .(dot).

Please provide me the best and fastest approach.

Thanks

string s = s.Replace(".","");

Repeat same for all variables or alternatively you can create method and pass strings while calling this method.

The simplest logic you can refer is as per this method i have displayed below :-

C#

private string GetFormattedString(string strInput)
        {
            string strOutput = string.Empty;
            if (strInput.Contains("."))
            {
                string[] arrInpt = strInput.Split(new char[] { '.' });
                if(arrInpt.Length == 3){
                    if (arrInpt[0].Length == 1) strOutput = strOutput + "0" + arrInpt[0]; else strOutput = strOutput + arrInpt[0];
                    if (arrInpt[1].Length == 1) strOutput = strOutput + "0" + arrInpt[1]; else strOutput = strOutput + arrInpt[1];
                    if (arrInpt[2].Length == 1) strOutput = strOutput + "0" + arrInpt[2]; else strOutput = strOutput + arrInpt[2];
                }
            }

            return strOutput;
        }

We need to validate the string which will be passed as input to this method before passing if it is in correct format or not then it will return the desired string as output.

Hope this will be of help to you.

Hi

Check this simplest code to format the string. Hope this will help you to achieve your output.

C#

private string FormatString(string inputString)
        {
            string formattedString = string.Empty;
            try
            {
                string[] arrInput = inputString.Split('.');
                foreach (string value in arrInput)
                {
                    if (value.Length.Equals(1))
                    { formattedString += "0" + value; }
                    else
                    { formattedString += value; }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            { }
            return formattedString;
        }

Please see this :-

C#

private string GetFormattedString(string strInput)
        {
            return strInput.Split(new char[] { '.' })[0].PadLeft(2, '0')
                 + strInput.Split(new char[] { '.' })[1].PadLeft(2, '0')
                 + strInput.Split(new char[] { '.' })[2].PadLeft(2, '0');
        }
