Solution 1

Hi,

First, split the string, and take the second string from the array:

C#

string s="firstname lastname city age country";
string[] parts = s.Split(' '); // split the string
string lastname = parts[1]; // take the second string from the array

Hope this helps.

According to above question u have given perfect answer.So by me +5 given.
But In my question help:
Suppose if name is like->
Harish Chandra Singh
and
Vikash Philips

then how will recognize title (Singh and Philips).

Thomas Daniels 14-Dec-12 5:46am

Thanks for your vote!
If the name has 3 words, then I would save the first name in a seperate variable, the last name in a seperate variable, ...

StackQ 14-Dec-12 6:13am

no,in my question,there are 3 types of name:
1st- Harish Chandra Singh (Here 3 WORDS)
2nd-Vikash Philips (BUT HERE 2 WORDS)
3RD-Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya (Here 4 words)
so in this case where name words vary,at that condition how will recognize
(Singh,Philips,Malviya).It's my question.
If name's word will not vary then i can solve according to ur given solution and by other methods.I know.

Thomas Daniels 14-Dec-12 6:17am

Ok. I understand your question.
Try this:


string s="firstname lastname lastname lastname city age country"; // each "lastname" is another word from the last name
string[] parts = s.Split(' '); // split the string
string lastname = parts[parts.Count - 4];

Thomas Daniels 14-Dec-12 5:52am

Do you mean that you want to remove '\r'?

pkarthionline 14-Dec-12 5:56am

Yes i want remove \r and after other chars

Thomas Daniels 14-Dec-12 5:58am

To remove \r:


string str = "This\ris\ra\rstring.";
str = str.Replace("\r",""); // replace \r with an empty string

pkarthionline 14-Dec-12 6:05am

i need only :is

not need other chars
\ra\rstring.

Thomas Daniels 14-Dec-12 6:07am

Then, see my solution, and replace ' ' into '\r'.
