Regular expression

Question

Hi, I want an regular expression to eliminate the white space from an xml file having style tags. Eg: 'Font-Style : italic' should be converted to 'Font-Style:italic' How can i achieve this?

That won't compile as StringBuilder doesn't have a Trim() method. However, there's no need to use it anyway as this should work fine: string output = Regex.Replace(input, @"\s*:\s*", ":").Trim();

Hi all, Thank you for your replies . I could resolved this using the following: string output=new StringBuilder(Regex.Replace(input, @"\s*:\s*", ":").Trim());

hi, try... var myString = "Font-Style : italic"; myString = Regex.Replace(myString, @"[ ]", string.Empty, RegexOptions.Multiline); hope this will help you.

You may need to be more specific about what you regard as a 'style' tag. For example, this code will get rid of white space for any tag which ends with '-Style': string xml = "Font-Style : italic"; // say string original = @"-Style\s*:\s*"; string replacement = @"-Style:"; xml = Regex.Replace(xml, original, replacement);
