我想截断一个字符串,使其长度不超过给定值。我正在向数据库表写入数据,并希望确保写入的值满足列数据类型的约束。

例如,如果我能写以下内容,那就太好了:

string NormalizeLength(string value, int maxLength)
{
    return value.Substring(0, maxLength);
}

不幸的是,这会引发异常,因为maxLength通常超过字符串值的边界。当然,我可以写一个像下面这样的函数,但我希望这样的东西已经存在了。

string NormalizeLength(string value, int maxLength)
{
    return value.Length <= maxLength ? value : value.Substring(0, maxLength);
} 

执行此任务的难以捉摸的API在哪里?有吗?


当前回答

public static string Truncate( this string value, int maxLength )
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) { return value; }

        return new string(value.Take(maxLength).ToArray());// use LINQ and be happy
    }

其他回答

在c# 8中,新的范围特性可以被使用…

value = value[..Math.Min(30, value.Length)];

以@CaffGeek为例进行简化:

public static string Truncate(this string value, int maxLength)
    {
        return string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) ? value : value.Substring(0, Math.Min(value.Length, maxLength));
    }

出于(过度)复杂性的考虑,我将添加重载版本,它将maxLength参数的最后3个字符替换为省略号。

public static string Truncate(this string value, int maxLength, bool replaceTruncatedCharWithEllipsis = false)
{
    if (replaceTruncatedCharWithEllipsis && maxLength <= 3)
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("maxLength",
            "maxLength should be greater than three when replacing with an ellipsis.");

    if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value)) 
        return String.Empty;

    if (replaceTruncatedCharWithEllipsis &&
        value.Length > maxLength)
    {
        return value.Substring(0, maxLength - 3) + "...";
    }

    return value.Substring(0, Math.Min(value.Length, maxLength)); 
}

或者,您可以使用Math.min代替三元操作符

public static class StringExt
{
    public static string Truncate( this string value, int maxLength )
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) { return value; }

        return value.Substring(0, Math.Min(value.Length, maxLength));
    }
}

TruncateString

public static string _TruncateString(string input, int charaterlimit)
{
    int characterLimit = charaterlimit;
    string output = input;

    // Check if the string is longer than the allowed amount
    // otherwise do nothing
    if (output.Length > characterLimit && characterLimit > 0)
    {
        // cut the string down to the maximum number of characters
        output = output.Substring(0, characterLimit);
        // Check if the character right after the truncate point was a space
        // if not, we are in the middle of a word and need to remove the rest of it
        if (input.Substring(output.Length, 1) != " ")
        {
            int LastSpace = output.LastIndexOf(" ");

            // if we found a space then, cut back to that space
            if (LastSpace != -1)
            {
                output = output.Substring(0, LastSpace);
            }
        }
        // Finally, add the "..."
        output += "...";
    }
    return output;
}
