I feel kind of dumb posting this when this seems kind of simple and there are tons of questions on strings/characters/regex, but I couldn't find quite what I needed (except in another language: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2176544/remove-all-text-after-certain-point).
I've got the following code:
[Test]
public void stringManipulation()
{
String filename = "testpage.aspx";
String currentFullUrl = "http://localhost:2000/somefolder/myrep/test.aspx?q=qvalue";
String fullUrlWithoutQueryString = currentFullUrl.Replace("?.*", "");
String urlWithoutPageName = fullUrlWithoutQueryString.Remove(fullUrlWithoutQueryString.Length - filename.Length);
String expected = "http://localhost:2000/somefolder/myrep/";
String actual = urlWithoutPageName;
Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
}
I tried the solution in the question above (hoping the syntax would be the same!) but nope. I want to first remove the queryString which could be any variable length, then remove the page name, which again could be any length.
How can I get the remove the query string from the full URL such that this test passes?
