Hi Ankit Are you sure? I just re-tested my code it gives me proper results. Here is evidence: http://prntscr.com/9esafc I think the website reply has messed up my code so here is a better format: http://paste.ee/p/Ip8MG#zXLMnDxIU9mVNMsp0TroV9KQygNRsKRu

Akhil Kumar · Answer

Assuming the format of the string will be constant(ie five words if we split with spaces)you can use string.split and then join with the desired indices to achieve desired output.it will be string str = Ministry Of Labour and Employment; string returnstrreturnstr1 ; string[] arr1 = new string[10]; arr1=str.Split(); returnstr = arr1[0] +   + arr1[1] +   + arr1[2]; returnstr1 = arr1[3] +   + arr1[4] ; output : returnstr = Ministry Of Labour and returnstr1 = and Employment Anyways this works like charm for Five Words Seperated by Four Spaces but this method fails if the string format is changed .just wanted to convey the simplest method possible.

Matthias · Answer

you're right! I had one word too much - a logical error! I only changed the while block: while (true) { char c = temp.ElementAt(number++); if (c == ' ') break; neu = neu.Substring(0 neu.Length-1); }

I think he's trying to split any given string after 20 characters. Not sure if .Split will be very efficient for that.

You can use the below code for your reference. string s = this is only some example okay; string[] strArr = s.Split(' '); int ires = 0; string strText = ; foreach (string str in strArr) { ires += str.Length; if (ires { strText +=   + str; } } strText = strText.Trim(' '); Console.WriteLine(strText); O/P: this is only some The only full words not the in mid words.

using System; namespace Z_ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string name = Ministry Of Labour and Employment; string str1 = name.Substring(0 19); string str2 =   + name.Substring(19); Console.WriteLine(str1); Console.WriteLine(str2); Console.ReadKey(); } } } //Ministry Of Labour // and Employment

Rajesh Singh · Answer

Hi Ankit I think you talking about specific string. I have written code as per my understanding of your requirement. Please look it. string str = Ministry Of Labour and Employment; var subStr = str.Substring(0 20); string newStr = subStr.Substring(0 subStr.Length - 1); string splitStr = str.Substring(newStr.Length - 1); Console.WriteLine(newStr.Trim()); Console.WriteLine(splitStr.Trim());

Hello Mate Try like string str = Ministry Of Labour and Employment; string sub = str.Substring(0 19); string sub1 = str.Substring(19 str.Length-19);

Ankit Shukla · Answer

Hello Matthias Sir; I am trying your code. But it did not show remaining string.

Ankit Shukla · Answer

Hello Raghav Sir I tried your code But it returns  Ministry  and  Of Labour and Employment .

Matthias · Answer

Then you can use the following code: int number = 20; string s = this is only some example okay; char[] temp = s.ToCharArray(); string neu = s.Substring(0 number); while (true) { char c = temp.ElementAt(number++); neu += c; if (c == ' ') break; }

Matthias · Answer

- firstly you can use the method Split with argument ' ' - now you have got an array with the single words - then you can use a while-loop for join the words - termination condition is length=20 - now you have got the desired string

Raghav Jhavar · Answer

I think this will be useful to you. This algorithm will split strings with 20 characters. Then it will check if the last word in the first set of a split is a complete word. So in Ministry of Labour a it checks if after a at the end there is a space. If there is a space then it will assume it is a complete word else if it is not it will find the last complete word. This fixes the problem (I tested the code) using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.IO; namespace csharpcorn { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string someWord = Ministry Of Labour and Employment; if(!someWord.Substring(201).Equals( )) { for(int i = 20; i > 0; i--) { if(someWord.Substring(i 1).Equals( )) { Console.WriteLine(someWord.Substring(0 i)); //Ministry of Labour Console.WriteLine(someWord.Substring(i someWord.Length - i)); //and Employment break; } } } else { Console.WriteLine(someWord.Substring(0 20)); } Console.ReadKey(); } } }

static IEnumerable Split ( string str  int chunkSize ) { return Enumerable . Range ( 0  str . Length / chunkSize ) . Select ( i => str . Substring ( i * chunkSize  chunkSize )); } Please note that additional code might be required to gracefully handle edge cases ( null or empty input string chunkSize == 0  input string length not divisible by chunkSize  etc.). The original question doesn't specify any requirements for these edge cases and in real life the requirements might vary so they are out of scope of this answer. Try this
