I wanted to insert multiple new lines in a string so I used an interpolated string as my choice of a format mechanism which should be pretty fast.
Example:
string mystring = $"one line{Environment.NewLine}{Environment.NewLine}{Environment.NewLine}another line{Environment.NewLine}end";
Now that works but how can I better insert multiple Environment.Newline
in an interpolated string; for example if I wanted 15 this gets cumbersome.
I am aware of string.Replace(
, string.Format()
, and concatenation Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine
as well as literal string @"stuff"
with blank lines however is not the question (an alternative) but rather how to insert multiples such my fake example of
string mystring = $"one line{Environment.NewLine(3)}another line{Environment.NewLine}end text";
Maybe not the most elegant solution, but you can call a method from within an interpolated string. The method can return a specified number of new lines.
private string NewLines(int lines)
{
return new StringBuilder().Insert(0,$"{Environment.NewLine}, lines").ToString();
}
Then just call
string mystring = $"one line{NewLines(3)}another line{NewLines(1)}end text";
