String.Replace does not seem to replace brackets with empty string

Question

The following bit of C# code does not seem to do anything:

String str = \"{3}\";
str.Replace(\"{\", String.Empty);
str.Replace(\"}\", String.Empty);

Console         


        

Answer 1

The Replace method returns a string with the replacement. What I think you're looking for is this:

str = str.Replace("{", string.Empty);
str = str.Replace("}", string.Empty);

Console.WriteLine(str);
