I have a list of words that I want to remove from a string I use the following method
string stringToClean = "The.Flash.2014.S07E06.720p.WEB-DL.HEVC.x265.RMTeam";
string[] BAD_WORDS = {
"720p", "web-dl", "hevc", "x265", "Rmteam", "."
};
var cleaned = string.Join(" ", stringToClean.Split(' ').Where(w => !BAD_WORDS.Contains(w, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)));
but it is not working And the following text is output
The.Flash.2014.S07E06.720p.WEB-DL.HEVC.x265.RMTeam
For this it would be a good idea to create a reusable method that splits a string into words. I'll do this as an extension method of string. If you are not familiar with extension methods, readextension methods demystified
public static IEnumerable<string> ToWords(this string text)
{
// TODO implement
}
Usage will be as follows:
string text = "This is some wild text!"
List<string> words = text.ToWords().ToList();
var first3Words = text.ToWords().Take(3);
var lastWord = text.ToWords().LastOrDefault();
Once you've got this method, the solution to your problem will be easy:
IEnumerable<string> badWords = ...
string inputText = ...
IEnumerable<string> validWords = inputText.ToWords().Except(badWords);
Or maybe you want to use Except(badWords, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
The implementation of ToWords
depends on what you would call a word: everything delimited by a dot? or do you want to support whitespaces? or maybe even new-lines?
The implementation for your problem: A word is any sequence of characters delimited by a dot.
public static IEnumerable<string> ToWords(this string text)
{
// find the next dot:
const char dot = '.';
int startIndex = 0;
int dotIndex = text.IndexOf(dot, startIndex);
while (dotIndex != -1)
{
// found a Dot, return the substring until the dot:
int wordLength = dotIndex - startIndex;
yield return text.Substring(startIndex, wordLength;
// find the next dot
startIndex = dotIndex + 1;
dotIndex = text.IndexOf(dot, startIndex);
}
// read until the end of the text. Return everything after the last dot:
yield return text.SubString(startIndex, text.Length);
}
TODO:
Your split/join don't match up with your input.
That said, here's a quick one-liner:
string clean = BAD_WORDS.Aggregate(stringToClean, (acc, word) => acc.Replace(word, string.Empty));
This is basically a "reduce". Not fantastically performant but over strings that are known to be decently small I'd consider it acceptable. If you have to use a really large string or a really large number of "words" you might look at another option but it should work for the example case you've given us.
Edit: The downside of this approach is that you'll get partials. So for example in your token array you have "720p" but the code I suggested here will still match on "720px" but there are still ways around it. For example instead of using string
's implementation of Replace
you could use a regex that will match your delimiters something like Regex.Replace(acc, $"[. ]{word}([. ])", "$1")
(regex not confirmed but should be close and I added a capture for the delimiter in order to put it back for the next pass)
