Insert variable values in the middle of a string

There's now (C# 6) a more succinct way to do it: string interpolation.

From another question's answer:

In C# 6 you can use string interpolation:

string name = "John";
string result = $"Hello {name}";

The syntax highlighting for this in Visual Studio makes it highly readable and all of the tokens are checked.


You can use string.Format:

string template = "Hi We have these flights for you: {0}. Which one do you want";
string data = "A, B, C, D";
string message = string.Format(template, data);

You should load template from your resource file and data is your runtime values.

Be careful if you're translating to multiple languages, though: in some cases, you'll need different tokens (the {0}) in different languages.


Use String.Format

Pre C# 6.0

string data = "FlightA, B,C,D";
var str = String.Format("Hi We have these flights for you: {0}. Which one do you want?", data);

C# 6.0 -- String Interpolation

string data = "FlightA, B,C,D";
var str = $"Hi We have these flights for you: {data}. Which one do you want?";

String.Format("Hi We have these flights for you: {0}. Which one do you want",
                              flights);

EDIT: you can even save the "template" string separately (for instance you could store it in a configuration file and retrieve it from there), like this:

string flights = "Flight A, B,C,D";

string template = @"Hi We have these flights for you: {0}. Which one do you want";
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(template, flights));

EDIT2: whoops, sorry I see that @DanPuzey had already suggested something very similar to my EDIT (but somewhat better)


1 You can use string.Replace method

var sample = "testtesttesttest#replace#testtesttest";
var result = sample.Replace("#replace#", yourValue);

2 You can also use string.Format

var result = string.Format("your right part {0} Your left Part", yourValue);

3 You can use Regex class
