How do I Remove Specific Character from a Field in a C# List?

Question

I got a C# List that it's the result of a LINQ query. I had no issues removing zero records like this.

myList.RemoveAll(x => x.Amount ==0);

How do I remove character "TH" from a column in myList?

Data example: "48 Street" and "48th Street"
I need to remove "th" from records set to "48th Street" so I can have all of them set to "48 Street"

How can I accomplish this in myList?

Hi @lesponce ,

Agree with Bruce, Regex.Replace method is a good choice. You could refer the following code:

    //Test data  
    var orderlist = new List<Order>()  
    {  
        new Order() {Id=1, Address="48 Street", Account=12},  
        new Order() {Id=2, Address="48 Street", Account=0},  
        new Order() {Id=3, Address="48th Street", Account=11},  
        new Order() {Id=4, Address="48 Street", Account=0},  
        new Order() {Id=5, Address="51th Street", Account=15},  
    };  

    //var orderresult = orderlist.RemoveAll(c => c.Account == 0);  

    var orderresult2 = orderlist.Where(c => c.Account != 0) //filter data and remove the Account is 0  
                        .Select(c => new Order() {  
                            Id = c.Id,  
                             Address = Regex.Replace(c.Address, @"(\w+)(\d+)(th)(\s\w+)", "$1$2$4", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase),  
                              Account = c.Account  
                        }).ToList();  

The result like this:

that's what regex is for:

var clean = Regex.Replace("128th street, "(\\W*)(\\d+)\\W*(th)(\\W+)", "$1$2$4", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
