If you're wanting to get all these strings onto a common basis then you need to know all the possible variations that can occur. One thing that's easy is to get 'versus' onto a common basis. Suppose 'v' is the common basis and the other possibilities are : vs V and VS. Then a simple regular expression can change all of these to 'v'. Similarly if you decide that stuff like L L1 L2 X1 X2 Team and public is unnecessary then you can easily get rid of them using another regular expression. A potentially more difficult problem is to replace stuff such as Republic of Ireland with just Ireland though this particular case of course presents no problem. Anyway here's a simple program to show how you can reduce all those strings to a common basis using regular expressions: using System; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; class Test { static void Main() { string[] games = { Poland vs Greece Poland v Greece Republic of Ireland vs Croatia Ireland v Croatia Ireland L1 v Croatia L2 Ukraine vs Sweden Ukraine v Sweden Ukraine X1 V Sweden X2 New York Team L VS California public Team X2 New York V California New York Team VS California X2 }; string regExp =  (vs|V|VS) ; string regExp2 = @\b(L|L1|L2|X1|X2|Team|public)( |$); string regExp3 = Republic of ; for(int i = 0; i { games[i] = Regex.Replace(games[i] regExp  v ); games[i] = Regex.Replace(games[i] regExp2 ).TrimEnd(); games[i] = Regex.Replace(games[i] regExp3 ); } // check it worked: foreach(string game in games) Console.WriteLine(game); Console.ReadKey(); } } The console output should be: Poland v Greece Poland v Greece Ireland v Croatia Ireland v Croatia Ireland v Croatia Ukraine v Sweden Ukraine v Sweden Ukraine v Sweden New York v California New York v California New York v California
