String.Replace does not seem to replace brackets with empty string

Question

The following bit of C# code does not seem to do anything:

String str = \"{3}\";
str.Replace(\"{\", String.Empty);
str.Replace(\"}\", String.Empty);

Console         


        

Answer 1

I guess you'll have to do

String str = "{3}";
str = str.Replace("{", String.Empty);
str = str.Replace("}", String.Empty);

Console.WriteLine(str);

Look at the String.Replace reference:

Return Value Type: System.String

A String equivalent to this instance but with all instances of oldValue replaced with newValue.
