Parameters

builder  StringBuilder

The StringBuilder whose content is changed.

replacement  ReadOnlySpanChar

A read-only character span that is the replacement for all white space sequences. If an empty span is passed to the parameter, each white space will be completely removed.

startIndex  Int32

The zero-based index in builder at which the replacement starts.

count  Int32

The length of the specified section in builder where replacement operations take place.

skipNewLines  Boolean  (Optional)

Pass true to exclude newline characters from the replacement. The default value is false.

Return Value

Usage Note

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.
