I'm working with uploading a CSV file but one of the data fields in the CSV file maybe marked with a * at the end i.e. SI 9 MS*, I want to remove this * char before uploading this data to the DB. How do I do this? I'm reading my CSV file like this:

C#

//Read in contents of file into database
using (CsvReader reader = new CsvReader(strFolderPath + @"\" + strFileName))
{
  int intCounter = 0;

  foreach (string[] values in reader.RowEnumerator)
  {
     //NOTE: First 4 rows are header information
     if (reader.RowIndex > 4)
     {
        if (DAL.InsertPriceList(RegionID, values, Session["Username"].ToString()))
        {
           //throw new Exception("Row " + (intCounter+1).ToString() + " - " + DAL.DBErrorMsg);
           if (DAL.DBErrorMsg != "")
           {
              StringBuilder errormessage = new StringBuilder();
              errormessage.Append(DAL.DBErrorMsg);                                                
           }
        }
        intCounter++;
     }
}

lblUploadSuccess.Text = string.Format("{0} Price List items uploaded to database", intCounter);
lblUploadSuccess.Visible = true;
PopulatePriceListGridView();
}

Try this:

C#

//Read in contents of file into database
using (CsvReader reader = new CsvReader(strFolderPath + @"\" + strFileName))
{
  int intCounter = 0;

  foreach (string[] values in reader.RowEnumerator)
  {
     //Removing * from values
     string[] newVal = new string[values.Length];
     int count = 0;
     foreach (string val in values)
     {
        newVal[count] = val.Replace("*", "");
        count++;
     }
     //NOTE: First 4 rows are header information
     if (reader.RowIndex > 4)
     {
        if (DAL.InsertPriceList(RegionID, newVal, Session["Username"].ToString()))
        {
           //throw new Exception("Row " + (intCounter+1).ToString() + " - " + DAL.DBErrorMsg);
           if (DAL.DBErrorMsg != "")
           {
              StringBuilder errormessage = new StringBuilder();
              errormessage.Append(DAL.DBErrorMsg);
           }
        }
        intCounter++;
     }
}

lblUploadSuccess.Text = string.Format("{0} Price List items uploaded to database", intCounter);
lblUploadSuccess.Visible = true;
PopulatePriceListGridView();
}
