In C#: Add Quotes around string in a comma delimited list of strings

Question

This probably has a simple answer, but I must not have had enough coffee to figure it out on my own:

If I had a comma delimited string such as:

string li         


        

Answer 1

My "less sophisticated" approach ... I suppose it's always good practice to use a StringBuilder because the list can be very large.

string list = "Fred,Sam,Mike,Sarah";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

string[] listArray = list.Split(new char[] { ',' });

for (int i = 0; i < listArray.Length; i++)
{
    sb.Append("'").Append(listArray[i]).Append("'");
    if (i != (listArray.Length - 1))
        sb.Append(",");
}
string newList = sb.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(newList);
