How do I remove whitespace at the beginning of my

Question

Let's say I have following string: string test = " False";

I can't loop the characters of the string because I need to do this for 1744 strings, then it would be a lot of work.

Do you know if there is a method from Microsoft that I can use to delete this whitespace?

Like this: string test2 = test.DeleteFirstWhitespace();

Thanks

Answer 1

test.trim();
This method removes whitespaces from beginning and ending of the string.

Answer 2

Speaking of Java: String.trim(). Here is the link to the API documentation: String.trim()

Answer 3

As everyone else has pointed out, there is a trim function. Make sure to remember that a string is immutable, so when you call test.Trim(), it will not modify the test variable, it will return a new string:

string trimmed = test.Trim();
// or
string trimmed = test.TrimStart();

Answer 4

you can use TrimStart in C#:

string test2 = test.TrimStart()

Answer 5

You can use:

• String.Trim() to remove all leading and trailing white-space characters
• String.TrimStart() to remove only leading white-space characters
• String.TrimEnd() to remove only trailing white-space characters

All these have additional overloads which let you specify an array of custom characters also to be removed.

Answer 6

I can also use the method TrimStart()

like this:

string test2 = test.TrimStart(' ');
