taking last two special character in a string

Question

how to capture last two special character only in a string & leave the other special character in a string.

Vulpes · Answer

If the last two special characters are mixed in with 'normal' characters, then you'll need to do something more elaborate to extract them and leave the rest of the characters untouched. Try this: using System; class Program { static void Main() { char[] special = ":!@#$%^&*()".ToCharArray(); // or whatever they are string text = "Quick! brown fox #1 (is jumping over the lazy dog)"; // get indices of last two special characters and extract them from the string string lastTwoSpecial = ""; int index = text.LastIndexOfAny(special); if (index > -1) { lastTwoSpecial = text[index].ToString(); text = text.Remove(index, 1); index = text.LastIndexOfAny(special); if (index > -1) { lastTwoSpecial = text[index] + lastTwoSpecial; text = text.Remove(index, 1); } } Console.WriteLine("The last two special characters are : "); Console.WriteLine(lastTwoSpecial); Console.WriteLine("
The rest of the string is : "); Console.WriteLine(text); Console.ReadKey(); } } The output is: The last two special characters are : () The rest of the string is : Quick! brown fox #1 is jumping over the lazy dog

You could use "Split" function to fullfill your need. Try the below code: string strYourString = "Some string with Special Characters:!@#$%^&*("; // Will give the last 2 charcters *( string strExtracted = strYourString.Substring(strYourString.Length - 2); Response.Write(strExtracted);
