How to: Write characters to a string
The following code examples write characters synchronously or asynchronously from a character array into a string.
Example: Write characters synchronously in a console app
The following example uses a StringWriter to write five characters synchronously to a StringBuilder object.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
public class CharsToStr
{
public static void Main()
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("Start with a string and add from ");
char[] b = { 'c', 'h', 'a', 'r', '.', ' ', 'B', 'u', 't', ' ', 'n', 'o', 't', ' ', 'a', 'l', 'l' };
using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb))
{
// Write five characters from the array into the StringBuilder.
sw.Write(b, 0, 5);
Console.WriteLine(sb);
}
}
}
// The example has the following output:
//
// Start with a string and add from char.
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
Public Class CharsToStr
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim sb As New StringBuilder("Start with a string and add from ")
Dim b() As Char = {"c", "h", "a", "r", ".", " ", "B", "u", "t", " ", "n", "o", "t", " ", "a", "l", "l"}
Using sw As StringWriter = New StringWriter(sb)
' Write five characters from the array into the StringBuilder.
sw.Write(b, 0, 5)
Console.WriteLine(sb)
End Using
End Sub
End Class
' The example has the following output:
'
' Start with a string and add from char.
Example: Write characters asynchronously in a WPF app
The next example is the code behind a WPF app. On window load, the example asynchronously reads all characters from a TextBox control and stores them in an array. It then asynchronously writes each letter or white-space character to a separate line of a TextBlock control.
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.IO;
namespace StringReaderWriter
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private async void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
char[] charsRead = new char[UserInput.Text.Length];
using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(UserInput.Text))
{
await reader.ReadAsync(charsRead, 0, UserInput.Text.Length);
}
StringBuilder reformattedText = new StringBuilder();
using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(reformattedText))
{
foreach (char c in charsRead)
{
if (char.IsLetter(c) || char.IsWhiteSpace(c))
{
await writer.WriteLineAsync(char.ToLower(c));
}
}
}
Result.Text = reformattedText.ToString();
}
}
}
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
''' <summary>
''' Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
''' </summary>
Partial Public Class MainWindow
Inherits Window
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
Private Async Sub Window_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim charsRead As Char() = New Char(UserInput.Text.Length) {}
Using reader As StringReader = New StringReader(UserInput.Text)
Await reader.ReadAsync(charsRead, 0, UserInput.Text.Length)
End Using
Dim reformattedText As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()
Using writer As StringWriter = New StringWriter(reformattedText)
For Each c As Char In charsRead
If Char.IsLetter(c) Or Char.IsWhiteSpace(c) Then
Await writer.WriteLineAsync(Char.ToLower(c))
End If
Next
End Using
Result.Text = reformattedText.ToString()
End Sub
End Class
