Chilkat C# Downloads

C#
//  The SetNth method is handy for setting a part of a delimited string.
//  For example:

Chilkat.StringBuilder sb = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sb.Append("red,blue,\"green,purple\",,yellow");

string delimiterChar = ",";
bool exceptDoubleQuoted = true;
bool exceptEscaped = true;

sb.SetNth(2,"magenta",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
//  Prints "red,blue,magenta,,yellow"
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString());

sb.SetNth(3,"orange",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
//  Prints "red,blue,magenta,orange,yellow"
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString());

//  What happens if we start with an empty string?
sb.Clear();

sb.SetNth(2,"apple",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
//  Prints ",,apple"
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString());

sb.SetNth(0,"orange",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
//  Prints "orange,,apple"
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString());

sb.SetNth(1,"banana",delimiterChar,exceptDoubleQuoted,exceptEscaped);
//  Prints "orange,banana,apple"
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString());
