.Remove()

In C#, the .Remove() method removes characters from a specific position in a string, starting at a given index. The original string remains unchanged, and the modified string is returned.

Syntax

// Removes characters from startIndex to the end of the string.
string.Remove(int startIndex);

Or, alternatively:

// Removes a specified number of characters starting at startIndex.
string.Remove(int startIndex, int count);

• startIndex: The zero-based position in the string where removal begins.
• count (Optional): The number of characters to remove from the specified startIndex.

Example

The following example shows how to use the .Remove() method:

using System;

public class RemoveExample
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string baseStr = "ABCDEFGHIJ";

        string newStr1 = baseStr.Remove(5);
        string newStr2 = baseStr.Remove(2, 5);

        Console.WriteLine("New string1: " + newStr1);
        Console.WriteLine("New string2: " + newStr2);

    }
}

This example results in the following output:

New string1: ABCDE
New string2: ABHIJ
