Use some string manipulation functions with C#

An example of use of the most common functions for manipulating strings in C#.

Code:

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading;

namespace ConsoleApplications
{
    class StringDemo
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set the appropriate culture
            CultureInfo ciEnglish = new CultureInfo("en");
            ciEnglish.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ciEnglish;

            // Declare some variables
            String name = "Lisa";
            String company = "MdmSoft";
            double salary = 2800.00d;

            // Print the initial values 
            Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}\nCompany: {1}\nSalary: {2:c}", name, company, salary);
            Console.WriteLine();

            // Use some string manipulation functions
            Console.WriteLine("name.CompareTo(\"LISA\")=" + name.CompareTo("LISA"));
            Console.WriteLine("name.CompareTo(\"Lisa\")=" + name.CompareTo("Lisa"));
            Console.WriteLine("name.CompareTo(\"lisa\")=" + name.CompareTo("lisa"));
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.Contains(\"li\")=" + name.Contains("li"));
            Console.WriteLine("name.Contains(\"Li\")=" + name.Contains("Li"));
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.Count()=" + name.Count());
            Console.WriteLine("company.Count()=" + company.Count());
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.EndsWith(\"sa\")=" + name.EndsWith("sa"));
            Console.WriteLine("company.EndsWith(\"soft\")=" + company.EndsWith("soft"));
            Console.WriteLine("company.EndsWith(\"soft\", true, null)=" + company.EndsWith("soft", true, null));
            Console.WriteLine();

            name = name.Insert(0, "Mrs ");
            Console.WriteLine("name.Insert(0, \"Mrs \")= " + name);
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.Length=" + name.Length);
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.PadLeft(15,'*')=" + name.PadLeft(15, '.'));
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.PadRight(15,'*')=" + name.PadRight(15, '.'));
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.Remove(0,4)=" + name.Remove(0, 4));
            Console.WriteLine();

            name=name.Replace("Lisa", "Sophie");
            Console.WriteLine("name.Replace(\"Lisa\", \"Sophie\")=" + name.Replace("Lisa", "Sophie"));
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.StartsWith(\"Mrs\")=" + name.StartsWith("Mrs"));
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.Substring(3,6)=" + name.Substring(3, 7));
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.ToLower()=" + name.ToLower());
            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.WriteLine("name.ToUpper()=" + name.ToUpper());
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
}

Result:

Name: Lisa
Company: MdmSoft
Salary: $2,800.00

name.CompareTo("LISA")=-1
name.CompareTo("Lisa")=0
name.CompareTo("lisa")=1

name.Contains("li")=False
name.Contains("Li")=True

name.Count()=4
company.Count()=7

name.EndsWith("sa")=True
company.EndsWith("soft")=False
company.EndsWith("soft", true, null)=True

name.Insert(0, "Mrs ")= Mrs Lisa

name.Length=8

name.PadLeft(15,'*')=.......Mrs Lisa

name.PadRight(15,'*')=Mrs Lisa.......

name.Remove(0,4)=Lisa

name.Replace("Lisa", "Sophie")=Mrs Sophie

name.StartsWith("Mrs")=True

name.Substring(3,6)= Sophie

name.ToLower()=mrs sophie

name.ToUpper()=MRS SOPHIE
