RE: String.Format - offset of inserted text?
Hello Dave,
Do you mean the output of String.Format by "the created string"? Are the
string format with {0} {1} and the arguments still available when we need
to calculate the offset? If yes, we can do it by parsing the string format
character by character:
We look forward from the first char of the string format. In the meantime,
we have an integer to record the current offset. If we meet with '{', we
determine whether the value between this '{' and the next '}' is an
integer. If it returns true, we get the argument corresponds to the integer
from the argument collection, and update the current offset by adding the
length of the argument value. In this way, we will be able to retrieve the
offsets of all the arguments.
Please let me know whether this solution is helpful or not.

Re: String.Format - offset of inserted text?
Hi;
I was afraid that was the answer. The problem is that the string "hi
{0} there {1}" in English can be "there {1} hi {0}" in Chinese and we
need to offsets after the formatted string is created.
We'll implement as you suggested below - it would have been nice if
String.Format had a version that returned to offset and length of each
inserted string.
thanks - dave
