F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member ReplaceWhiteSpaceWith : 
        builder : StringBuilder * 
        replacement : string * 
        startIndex : int * 
        ?skipNewLines : bool 
(* Defaults:
        let _skipNewLines = defaultArg skipNewLines false
*)
-> StringBuilder

Parameters

builder StringBuilder: The StringBuilder whose content is changed.
replacement String: A String that is the replacement for all sequences of white space, or null to completely remove all white space.
startIndex Int32: The zero-based index in builder at which the replacement starts.
skipNewLines Boolean (Optional): Pass true to exclude newline characters from the replacement. The default value is false.

Return Value

StringBuilder
A reference to builder.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type StringBuilder. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

The method uses IsWhiteSpace(Char) to identify white space characters and works more thoroughly with it than Regex.Replace(string input, @"\s+", string replacement).

IsNewLine(Char) is used to identify newline characters.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	builder is null.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	startIndex is less than zero or greater than the number of characters in builder.
