Delete a specific line in a .NET RichTextBox

Question

How can I delete a specific line of text in a RichTextBox ?

Answer 1

Here is my unit tested implementation.

public static void DeleteLine([NotNull] this RichTextBox pRichTextBox, int pLineIndex) {
   if (pLineIndex < 0 || pLineIndex >= pRichTextBox.Lines.Length)
      throw new InvalidOperationException("There is no such line.");

   var start = pRichTextBox.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(pLineIndex);
   var isLastLine = pLineIndex == pRichTextBox.Lines.Length - 1;
   var nextLineIndex = pLineIndex + 1;

   var end = isLastLine
      ? pRichTextBox.Text.Length - 1
      : pRichTextBox.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(nextLineIndex) - 1;

   var length = end - start + 1;
   pRichTextBox.Text = pRichTextBox.Text.Remove(start, length);
}

Unit tests:

(used \n instead of Environment.NewLine since at least for me RTB is automatically replacing \r\n with just \n)

[TestMethod]
public void TestDeleteLine_SingleLine() {
   var rtb = new RichTextBox();
   rtb.Text = "This is line1.\n";
   rtb.DeleteLine(0);
   var expected = "";
   Assert.AreEqual(expected, rtb.Text);
}

[TestMethod]
public void TestDeleteLine_BlankLastLine() {
   var rtb = new RichTextBox();
   rtb.Text = "\n";
   rtb.DeleteLine(1);
   var expected = "\n";
   Assert.AreEqual(expected, rtb.Text);
}

[TestMethod]
public void TestDeleteLine_SingleLineNoEOL() {

   Assert.AreEqual(expected, rtb.Text);
}

[TestMethod]

   rtb.DeleteLine(-1);
}

   rtb.DeleteLine(3);
