How to Convert Persian Digits in variable to English Digits Using Culture?

Question

I want to change persian numbers which are saved in variable like this :

string Value=\"۱۰۳۶۷۵۱\"; 

to

string Value=\"1036751\"         


        

Answer 1

I suggest two approaches to handle this issue(I Create an extension method for each of them):

1.foreach and replace

public static class MyExtensions
{
     public static string PersianToEnglish(this string persianStr)
     {
            Dictionary LettersDictionary = new Dictionary
            {
                ['۰'] = '0',['۱'] = '1',['۲'] = '2',['۳'] = '3',['۴'] = '4',['۵'] = '5',['۶'] = '6',['۷'] = '7',['۸'] = '8',['۹'] = '9'
            };
            foreach (var item in persianStr)
            {
                persianStr = persianStr.Replace(item, LettersDictionary[item]);
            }
            return persianStr;
     }
}

2.Dictionary.Aggregate

public static class MyExtensions
{
      public static string PersianToEnglish(this string persianStr)
      {
            Dictionary LettersDictionary = new Dictionary
            {
                ["۰"] = "0",["۱"] = "1",["۲"] = "2",["۳"] = "3",["۴"] = "4",["۵"] = "5",["۶"] = "6",["۷"] = "7",["۸"] = "8",["۹"] = "9"
            };
            return LettersDictionary.Aggregate(persianStr, (current, item) =>
                         current.Replace(item.Key, item.Value));
      }
}
