private static string SetValue(string input, string reference)
{
string[] sentence = input.Split(' ');
for(int word = 0; word<sentence.Length; word++)
{
if (sentence[word].Equals(reference, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
return String.Join(" ", sentence.subarray(word+1,sentence.Length))
}
}
}
How can I accomplish sentence.subarray(word+1,sentence.Length) easily or do this in another way?
String.Join has an overload specifically for this:
return String.Join(" ", sentence, word + 1, sentence.Length - (word + 1));
You can use an overload Where with index:
return string.Join(" ", sentence.Where((w, i) => i > word));
X.Where((x, i) => i > I) gives the same results as X.Skip(I + 1) but is marginally less efficient and takes longer to figure out.
SKip(word + 1), it's simpler.If you are strictly looking for a Subarray solution independent of the string.Join() function, and you are using a version of .NET with Linq support, then may I recommend:
sentence.Skip(word + 1);
Alternatively, you could use SkipWhile instead of your for loop.
private static string SetValue(string input, string reference)
{
var sentence = input.Split(" ");
// Skip up to the reference (but not the reference itself)
var rest = sentence.SkipWhile(
s => !s.Equals(reference, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
rest = rest.Skip(1); // Skip the reference
return string.Join(" ", rest);
}
Join. You might need to add ToArray after Skip(1).
