I'm using the code sample below, and what I want to do is replace all multiple spaces with 1 \t.
So
"I am having fun working on Regex"
returns
"I am\thaving fun\tworking\ton\tRegex"
Current code:
RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.None;
Regex regex = new Regex(@"[ ]{2,}", options);
tempo = regex.Replace(tempo, @" ");
Thanks!
Just do this:
resultString = Regex.Replace(subjectString, " {2,}", @"\t");
you forgot your \t in your try.
In your sample you're replacing multiple spaces with a single one in line:
tempo = regex.Replace(tempo, @" ");
What you want, is to replace with the tab character, which is written \t:
tempo = regex.Replace(tempo, "\t");
Notice that I removed the @ character from the string in the call to Replace, otherwise @"\t" is interpreted as "the string backslash t" instead of the tab character.
Regex.Replace(subjectString, " {2,}", "\t") works, Regex.Replace(subjectString, " {2,}", @"\t") does not.
