C# Trim string regardless of characters

Question

So here the situation.

I have multiple strings that begin and end with a random amount of spaces. The problem is the string contains multiple words so I can\'t just rep

Answer 1

Assuming the quotes are really in there, then you want to use a regular expression:

(["'])\s*(.*[^\s])\s*(["'])

Simply replace it with:

$1$2$3

So:

string value = Regex.Replace("\"   value to trim   \"", @"([""'])\s*(.*[^\s])\s*([""'])", "$1$2$3");
