String manipulations

basically i have a status bar thats displaying strings via the number of files im process.

Ex

Files Process: 1. HelloWorld.txt ( 1 of 5)

I want to strip out the "1." for my status bar, how would you do that, You can't do it with the remove or replace function

the output should be like this below. so basically im using the line in red above for something else but without the (1 of 5) i simply want to take away the counter thats after the ":"

Files Process: HelloWorld.txt ( 1 of 5)

Are you familiar with field expression via the rdlc files in the designer?

Thanks I fix it, I use the logic below, Im going to change the name convention later but it works, I dont need to use the for oop

      String[] arrTxt = message.Split(':');
      String[] arrTxt1 = arrTxt[1].Split('.');
      String strMsg = arrTxt[0] + ": " + arrTxt1[1] + "."+ arrTxt1[2];

Almost, it removes the number, I just need to figure out why it exceeds the bounds of the way. Keep mind the number that we are moving can possible go from 1 to 1500

Hi darnel,

Try following code, it will help you to some extent

String txt = "Files Process: 1.   HelloWorld.txt ( 1 of 5)";
            String[] arrTxt = txt.Split(':');
            String[] arrTxt1 = arrTxt[1].Split('.');
            String str = arrTxt[0] + ": ";
            for (int i = 1; i < arrTxt1.Length; i++)
            {
                str = str + arrTxt1[i].Trim() + ".";
            }
            str = str.Trim('.');
            Console.WriteLine(str);
