You could have figured this out yourself by now, by looking at the methods that the string class has or by doing a quick search.

There are actually a set of function to trim chars off a string, these are

Trim() - Removes all leading and trailing white space
Trim(char[]) - Removes all leading and trailing occurrences of the characters specified
TrimEnd(char[]), TrimStart(char[]) - same as Trim but only on the start, or end of the string

MSDN - String[^]

This might require a little more explanation for it to be clear what it is that you want to do.

But, in case you mean exactly what you have written, two options spring to mind

1. Look up String.Remove(int32, int32)[^] on MSDN

2. Look up String.Replace(char/string, char/string)[^] on MSDN.

You should only use the second option if you can guarantee thet the quotes that you want to remove are the only ones.

Solution 3

Elaborating on SK, here is the implementation I believe you are looking for:

MIDL

string e = "'REMOVE FRONT ' AND BACK '";
e.Trim('\'');

This will remove all of them, not just the front and back ones.

Reason for my downvote... your answer does not solve the problem as stated (front and back only) and the question is 3 years old and already adequately answered
