how to get a String with String.Format to execute?

문제
I have a little chunk of code (see below) that is returning the string:
string.Format("{0}----{1}",3,"test 2");
so how do I get this to actually "Execute"? To run and do the format/replacement of {0} and {1}?
My Code snippet:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("{0}----{1}\",");
sb.AppendFormat(ReturnParamValue(siDTO, "siDTO.SuggestionItemID,siDTO.Title"));
string sbStr = "=string.Format(\""+sb.ToString()+");";
yes, ReturnParamValue gives the actually value of the DTO.
Anyways, I've taken a look at the following (but it doesn't say how to execute it: How to get String.Format not to parse {0}
Maybe, I just should put my code snippet in a method. But, what then?

Why are you including String.Format in the string itself?
If you're looking for a generic "let me evaluate this arbitrary expression I've built up in a string" then there isn't a simple answer.
If, instead, you're looking at how to provide the parameters to the string from a function call, then you've got yourself all twisted up and working too hard.
Try something like this, based on your original code:
string result
= string.Format(
"{0}----{1}",
ReturnParamValue(siDTO, "siDTO.SuggestionItemID,siDTO.Title"));
Though, this won't entirely work since your original code seems to be only providing a single value, and you have two values in your format string - the {0}
will be replaced with the value from your function, and {1}
left unchanged.
What output are you expecting?
Does your ReturnParamValue()
function try to return both the label and the value in a single string? If it does, and if they're comma separated, then you could try this:
var value = ReturnParamValue(siDTO, "siDTO.SuggestionItemID,siDTO.Title"));
var pieces = string.Split(',');
string result
= string.Format( "{0}----{1}", pieces[0], pieces[1]);
Though this is seriously working too hard if ReturnParamValue()
is a method you control.
Update Fri 6 August
Check out the declaration for string.Format()
as shown on MSDN:
public static string Format(
string format,
params Object[] args
)
Unlike the special casing you might have seen in C for printf()
, there's nothing special or unusual about the way string.Format()
handles multiple parameters. The key is the params keyword, which asks the compiler to provide a little "syntactic sugar" where it combines the parameters into an array for you.
Key here is that the wrapping doesn't happen if you're already passing a single object[]
- so if you wanted to, you could do something like this:
object[] parameters
= ReturnParamValues(siDTO, "siDTO.SuggestionItemID,siDTO.Title");
string result
= string.Format("{0}----{1}----{2}", parameters);
Though, if I saw something like this in any codebase I maintained, I'd be treating it as a code-smell and looking for a better way to solve the problem.
Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's advisable. YMMV, of course.

I don't think you can execute it. Java is not really a interpreted language.
You may make use of scripting languages (which can even embed in your Java app as I know, start from JDK6) for such purpose, like Groovy
You could use RegEx to parse the three parameters out of the string, and then pass them to a real, actual string.Format method :-)
It looks like what you want is something like this:
string sbStr = string.Format("{0}----{1}", siDTO.SuggestionItemID, siDTO.Title);
Maybe i didn't understand your question completely, but it sounds like you need to format a format-string. If that's true you could maybe try something like this:
int width = 5;
string format = String.Format("{{0,{0}}}----{{1,{0}}}", width);
string result = String.Format(format, "ab", "cd");
So the trick is simply to escape the {
or }
by using a double {{
or }}
.
