LINQ to Strings

In this example we will write LINQ queries on string to find distinct words in the string and duplicate words in the string.

LINQ Query:

Below query will split the string into words order by words length.

string input = "linq to string example"; var wordsorderbylength = from str in input.Split(new char[] { ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries) orderby str.Length select new { WordsOrderByLength = str }; gvLength.DataSource = wordsorderbylength; gvLength.DataBind();

Output:

WordsOrderByLength

to

string

example


LINQ Query:

Below query will find the distinct words in the string order by words.

string input1 = "hi Hellow HI world hellow world world hi hi"; var wordsuinque = from str in input1.ToLowerInvariant().Split().Distinct() select new { DistinctWords = str }; gvUniqueWords.DataSource = wordsuinque; gvUniqueWords.DataBind();

Output:

DistinctWords

hi

hellow

world


LINQ Query:

Below query will find the duplicate words in the string order by words.

string input2 = "This sentance contains duplicate words and the following linq query will find the duplicate words in this sentance"; var duplicatewords = from str in input2.ToLowerInvariant().Split() group str by str into temp orderby temp.Key where temp.Count() > 1 select new { DuplicateWords = temp.Key }; gvDuplicateWords.DataSource = duplicatewords; gvDuplicateWords.DataBind();

Output:

DuplicateWords
