String Extensions

• Left / Right
  • Returns the left or right part of a string. Throws an exception if the string has less characters than the length provided.
• FromTill
  • Takes the middle of a string by specifying the zero-based start index and the end index. Throws an exception if the string has less characters than the length provided.
• TakeStart / TakeEnd
  • Returns the left or right part of a string. Can return less characters than the length provided, if string is shorter.
• TakeStartUntil / TakeEndUntil
  • Takes the part of a string until the specified delimiter. Excludes the delimiter itself.
• TrimStart / TrimEnd
  • Will trim off repetitions of the same value from the given string. These are variations of the standard .NET methods that instead of just taking char[] can take a string or a length.
• TrimStartUntil / TrimEndUntil
  • Cuts off the part of a string until the specified delimiter and returns what remains including the delimiter itself.
• TrimFirst / TrimLast
  • Will trim off at most one occurrence of a value from the given string.
• RemoveExcessiveWhiteSpace
  • Trims and replaces sequences of two or more white space characters by a single space.
• Repeat
  • Repeat a string a number of times, returning a single string.
• Replace
  • Variation on String.Replace with the ability to ignore case.

String Extensions for Case Formatting

• StartWithCap
  • Turns the first character into a capital letter.
• StartWithLowerCase
  • Turns the first character into a lower-case letter.
• ToCamelCase
  • Converts e.g. "This is a sentence." to "thisIsASentence" so it can be used in code.

SplitWithQuotation

Allows you to parse CSV-like lines including quotation for the ability to include the separator character in the values themselves.

String Split Variations

The notoriously missing String.Split overloads, like:

myString.Split("].");

StringBuilderWithIndentation

You would think StringBuilder might have an Indent and an Unindent method. It doesn't. Here's one that does:

var sb = new StringBuilderWithIndentation();

sb.AppendLine($"public class {generatedClassName}");
sb.AppendLine("{");
sb.Indent();
{
    sb.AppendLine("public void MyMethod()");
    sb.AppendLine("{");
    sb.Indent();
    {
        sb.AppendLine(methodBody);
        sb.Unindent();
    }
    sb.AppendLine("}");
    sb.Unindent();
}
sb.AppendLine("}");

StringHelper.Join

A variation on String.Join, but takes char as the separator instead of String.
