Hello,

//I am using devExpress' combo box in my project
//i passed its in the string list as

string[] list=cmb.editvalue.tostring();
the out put is like that ('A A',' BBB',' C CC' etc)

Now i want to remove only the leading space in each element of the array i try this ;
plz guide me if there any function to remove the spaces in array

i use
list.replace("",empty.string)
but it removed the spaces between elements as well
how can i get the output ('A A','BBB','C CC')


Thanx in advance

Use the Trim method:

// Loop through each string.
for (int i = 0; i < list.Length; i++)
{
    // Remove any leading/trailing whitespace characters.
    list[i] = list[i].Trim();
}

Alternatively, you could use TrimStart.

EDIT: Needed to fix the code.

You could use string.TrimStart. Here's an example (just for simplicity sake I just load them into a ListView

private void TrimStartExample()
{
    string[] sample = new string[] { "A A", " BBB", " C CC" };

    foreach (string s in sample)
    {
        ListView1.Items.Add(s.TrimStart(new char[] { ' ' }));
    }
}

Hope that helps

ListView1.Items.Add(s.TrimStart(new char[] { ' ' }));

Maybe you guys won't be in agreement with me, but since this is a parameter and we know that the idea behind trimming for the most part is removing whitespace, I think it's better to omit the char array.

ListView1.Items.Add(s.TrimStart());

I just think it looks cleaner and since it's not necessary, why add it?

EDIT: when I said "but since this is a parameter", I mean that it's a params parameter, not just the fact that it's a method parameter. Sorry for confusion.
