I have the following string:
myName = "John Smith Curtis"
I want to get the first word, i.e. "John", which means I want to get everything from the start to the first space.
I know I should use Substring but I don't know what to do to remove the first word.
Thanks,
Miguelstring myName = "John Smith Curtis";
myName = myName.Substring( 0, myName.IndexOf( " " ) );
The best way to go though would be to do
myName.Split(" ")(0) -> That will return the first element before the space
If you really want to us substring then do
myName.Substring(0,4)
myName.Remove(myName.IndexOf(' ')) will return "John"
try the following ( i didnt check for going out of bound to keep the example simple)
string myName = "John Smith Curtis";
//get the index of the frist space
int index = myName.IndexOf(" ");
//get the first word
string firstname = myName.Substring(0, index);
//remove the first word
myName = myName.Remove(0, index + 1);
