Help with String

Anthony Clarke

Hi I have a linq query to insert a value from a long string

private void markInvoicesIndispute()
String[] invoices = Invoices.Lines;
foreach (String inv in invoices)
{

StripNonNumerics(inv);

}

public string StripNonNumerics(string inputString)
{
return new String(inputString.Where(c => Char.IsDigit(c)).ToArray());

This is the bit that is bothering me ------ Although it says return new string how to i output this say to a messagebox? e.g. messagebox.show(inputstring) ???

Thanks in advance
Anthony

Try:

string message = "";
foreach (String inv in invoices)
{
message += StripNonNumerics(inv) + "\r\n";
}
MessageBox.Show(message);

You can use System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox class's static method Show almost exactly as you printed above:

MessageBox.Show(inputString);

Here are all the overrides of the Show method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.messagebox.show.aspx
