Is there a Stream Wrapping component that edits streams? C#

Question

I would like to replace some text in a NetworkStream. Ideally by using a Regex to find what I want to replace. The consuming part takes a Stream and I would not like to modify it.

I image something like this?

Stream outputStream = new StreamChanger(inputStream, "apple", "banana");

Is there an existing component or pattern which can do this?

There's nothing built in that does this. You'll just have to write your own implementation of `Stream` to do it. — Kyle, Mar 30 '17 at 20:47
@Kyle: I'm asking for a component. E.g. a nuget package. I know it's not built in. — frankhommers, Mar 30 '17 at 20:49

You will probably need to roll your own...some pseudocode:

var changedString = inputStream.read(); changedString = changedString.replace("apple", "banana");

Stream outputStream = new StreamWriter(path); outputStream.Write(changedString);

Of course not. I would continue to read from the steam...was just saying as an example, you'd read from it, modify it, and output it to your "output" stream. – AS7K Mar 30 '17 at 20:39
If you want I'll write a StreamChanger class for this, but it may need to be next week : -/ – AS7K Mar 31 '17 at 14:21
