String.Insert(Int32, String) Method

Definition

Returns a new string in which a specified string is inserted at a specified index position in this instance.

public string Insert (int startIndex, string value);

Parameters

startIndex
Int32

The zero-based index position of the insertion.

value
String

The string to insert.

A new string that is equivalent to this instance, but with value inserted at position startIndex.

Exceptions

startIndex is negative or greater than the length of this instance.

Examples

The following example inserts a space character in the fourth character position (the character at index 3) of a string.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      String original = "aaabbb";
      Console.WriteLine("The original string: '{0}'", original);
      String modified = original.Insert(3, " ");
      Console.WriteLine("The modified string: '{0}'", modified);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//     The original string: 'aaabbb'
//     The modified string: 'aaa bbb'

The following console application prompts the users to enter one or more adjectives to describe two animals. It then calls the Insert method to insert the text entered by the user into a string.

using System;

public class Example {
    public static void Main()
    {
        string animal1 = "fox";
        string animal2 = "dog";

        string strTarget = String.Format("The {0} jumps over the {1}.",
                                         animal1, animal2);

        Console.WriteLine("The original string is:{0}{1}{0}",
                          Environment.NewLine, strTarget);

        Console.Write("Enter an adjective (or group of adjectives) " +
                      "to describe the {0}: ==> ", animal1);
        string adj1 = Console.ReadLine();

        Console.Write("Enter an adjective (or group of adjectives) " +
                      "to describe the {0}: ==> ", animal2);
        string adj2 = Console.ReadLine();

        adj1 = adj1.Trim() + " ";
        adj2 = adj2.Trim() + " ";

        strTarget = strTarget.Insert(strTarget.IndexOf(animal1), adj1);
        strTarget = strTarget.Insert(strTarget.IndexOf(animal2), adj2);

        Console.WriteLine("{0}The final string is:{0}{1}",
                          Environment.NewLine, strTarget);
    }
}
// Output from the example might appear as follows:
//       The original string is:
//       The fox jumps over the dog.
//
//       Enter an adjective (or group of adjectives) to describe the fox: ==> bold
//       Enter an adjective (or group of adjectives) to describe the dog: ==> lazy
//
//       The final string is:
//       The bold fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Remarks

If startIndex is equal to the length of this instance, value is appended to the end of this instance.

Observação

This method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string in which value is inserted into the current instance.

For example, the return value of "abc".Insert(2, "XYZ") is "abXYZc".
