Not having word more than 50 characters... Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet. Post a new message to this list... Amith Singh Hello All, I am using .Net Framework 1.1. Using Regular Expressions I would like to split a word(inserting a blank space) in a string if the word is more than N(say 50) characters. I can do the same using string manipulations. I am just curious using regular expressions it should be fast and less number of statements. Thanks, Amith Reply to this message...        Kevin Spencer Regular Expressions is not particularly useful in this situation. It's really a matter of building a new string by using Substring on the original, and concatenating the portions together. -- HTH, Kevin Spencer ..Net Developer Microsoft MVP Big things are made up of lots of little things.

I think part of the problem is what's being done isn't well explained. This is the 3rd time Amith has asked and each time we get slightly more information. I agree with you that if you have a single word in a string string x = "blah" then substring makes sense. But I'm ASSuming that we are talking about large text fields...in which case I think regular expressions are the right way (maybe not the only one) to go...

I use Regular Expressions "regularly." However, if you think using Regular Expressions in this case is a good idea, go ahead and post your solution. :) -- HTH, Kevin Spencer ..Net Developer Microsoft MVP Big things are made up of lots of little things.
