Solution 1

You can call string.TrimEnd(';').

C#

string mystring = "Hello;";

string mystring = mystring.TrimEnd(';');

// Output is "Hello"
Console.WriteLine(mystring);

As simple as that, a 5.

Is good, 5... just made another note below, use it in the class so the consumer doesn't need to sweat it.

Solution 2

You can do like this also,

string s= "World;";

s = s.Remove(s.Length-1);

Solution 3

Well, if you wrote the class and the attibute DelimitedRecord(string)... if I were you and you do not want to return any empty split results... I would change your method in the class so you don't have to handle that every time.

public string DelimitedRecord(char delimiterChar)
{
   return mystring.TrimEnd(delimiterChar).Split(delimiterChar);
}

Yes you are right about changing the method for DelimitedRecord.
But the code you provide does not compile.

fcronin 27-May-11 9:52am

My apologies, I was just speeding thru it... it should return a string[] rather than a string.

<pre>
public string[] DelimitedRecord(char delimiterChar)
{
return mystring.TrimEnd(delimiterChar).Split(delimiterChar);
}
</pre>

If you can change the way how DelimitedRecord works. Then try to change it to

C#

public string[] DelimitedRecord(char delimiterChar)
{
  foreach (string record in myOrginalString.Split(delimiterChar))
  {
    // To some other works on each string from .Split
    if (record == "ID1123")
    {
      record = "CURRENT " + record;
    }

    yield return record;
  }
}
