Thread: A small problem spoiling my application!

Hello,

The problem is quiet trivial. Say suppose i have "Hello friendes{BACK}{BACK}s" in one file. Now when i print the file's contents in textbox it should print "Hello friends"
({BACK} = backspace key). I don't know how to do this. I tried

Code:

stringvariable.Replace("{BACK}","\b");

but it's not working. I even tried this for loop

Code:

  while(1 > 0)
  {
      int intIndex = StringToFormat.IndexOf("{BACK}");
      if (intIndex <= -1)
          break;
      if (intIndex == 0)
          StringToFormat = StringToFormat.Remove(0, 6);
      else
          StringToFormat = StringToFormat.Remove(intIndex - 1, 7);
  }

because the user may press several backspaces simultaneously. Please help me!
Thanks in advance

Thanks Cactus_Hugger you are right it draws a funny little box. And ya, the while loop is absolutely correct actually the problem was somewhere else. I corrected it! Thanks anyways!

Though when i use

Code:

stringvariable.Replace("{ENTER}","\r\n");

it works
So i thought may be "\b" would also work
