C# Regex to Replace All Special Characters with Space in String

Sep 26, 2013
Introduction

Here I will explain how to use regular expression or regex in c# to replace all special characters with space in string using c#, vb.net.

Description:

In previous articles I explained constructors in c#, polymorphism example in c#, delegates in c# with example, Difference b/w compile time and runtime polymorphism, sealed classes in c#.net and many articles relating to c#, vb.net, code snippets. Now I will explain how to replace all special characters in string with space in c#, vb.net.

C# Code to replace special characters with spaces

If we want to replace all special characters in string with spaces we need to write code like as shown below


using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string str = "welcome@to-aspdotnet#sueresh.com";
string replacestr= Regex.Replace(str, "[^a-zA-Z0-9_]+", " ");
Console.WriteLine(replacestr);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
VB.NET Code


Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim str As String = "welcome@to-aspdotnet#sueresh.com"
Dim replacestr As String = Regex.Replace(str, "[^a-zA-Z0-9_]+", " ")
Console.WriteLine(replacestr)
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
If we run above code we will get output like as shown below

Very helpful code.....
But there is a small mistake in C# code. Third parameter (MatchEvaluator) should be " " instead of "-".
VB.Net code is correct.
