Split a string and join it back together in a different order?
- by Xaisoft
What is the most concise, yet readable way to split a string and put join it back together in a different order. For example, I want to split the following string:
10-20-30-4000-50000 and I would do this via:
string[] tokens = original.Split('-');
and now I want to put it back together in this order:
30-20-10-4000-50000
I know I can use Join to put it back together in it's original form, but I don't want that. The only thing I can think of right now is:
string modified = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}{3}{4}",tokens[2],tokens[1],tokens[0],tokens[3], tokens[4]);
I realized that if I do:
string modified = string.Format("{2}{1}{0}{3}{4}", tokens);
it does not keep the dashes which is what I want so is to do that, should I just do:
string modified = string.Format("{2}-{1}-{0}-{3}-{4}", tokens);
