Converting unicode characters (C#) Testing

Question

I have the following problem

I am using an SDK that returns values form a database.

The value i need is 4, 6, 7 but the SDK returns "\u0004","\u0006","\u0007" I was wondering if there is a way to check if it is "\u0004","\u0006","\u0007" or any way of doing this?

I Have the following code (C#):

Line_Type = Line_Type.Replace(@"\u000", "");
if (Line_Type == "4")
{
    Line_Type = "4";
}
else if (Line_Type == "6")
{
    Line_Type = "6";
}
else if (Line_Type == "7")
{
    Line_Type = "7";
}

I have tried multiple ways to get the done but can't find a right way to get this done.

I Have google but can't find anything.

not sure I understand your question, but your code seems to have a few problems: the code within ifs is pointless: `if variable == something variable = something`. also, you are stripping "\u000" from every value of Line_Type, which maybe is not what you want to do — Gian Paolo, Nov 23 '15 at 08:42
yes sorry i have an error in the copying and pasting. In short what i want is to strip \u000 from the Line_Type so that i can only get 4, 6, 7 as a string — Andre Hoffmann, Nov 23 '15 at 08:43

From your question I understood that SDK returns values in unicoded style. Then you can use the following code to convert unicode values to respective decimal value.

char uniCodeValue = char.Parse(Line_Type);//  '\u0004' unicode values
int decimalValue = uniCodeValue;
Console.Write(decimalValue.ToString()); // prints 4

Hope your problem got solved!!

In your replace call, "\u" is considered as an escape char. if you use double \, you get the string "\u0009"; check the difference between these two:

Console.WriteLine ("\u0009");
Console.WriteLine ("\\u0009");

the second print the string you are trying to replace with an empty string.

Sr as this problem is already solved, but ur error mentioned was wrong. The author type an @ sign before the string which means that \ sign is no longer considered as a Escape Sign. – Yosh Synergi Nov 23 '15 at 09:05
right, I missed it. I just upvoted Nikson answer, that actually is the solution for you problem – Gian Paolo Nov 23 '15 at 09:07
