I have a text box that is populated from a file via IO stream reader
I want the text from textbox1 to go to textbox2 but
what i would like to do is have every { character that is found in this textbox1 have a line break immediately after the { character and a tab added to next line. Also it would look for the } character and make line break immediately after the } character but no tab after } character before or while it is being moved to textbox2. I have searched google for the last 3 hrs and still found no solution I was looking at the string.Replace and if this works have not found a way. If you have any suggestions please share Thank you for your time and god bless.

Solution 1

This should work:

string text = textBox1.Text.Replace("{","{\\r\\n\\t");
textBox2.Text = text.Replace("}","}\\r\\n");

The TextBox should have multiline property set to true for this to work.
