c# - Linq to find the length of the value of the column in the list

Question

I have a list and a column; the column might have many values, and each value's length may vary.

If the length exceeds 100, I want to append /n at the end of it.

Need your help.

Answer 1

I give it a try, though a lot of questions are open (what type of list, what a column, ...).

In short: you can use String.Insert to insert text at a specified postition.

Assuming you have a List<Foo>, the class Foo has a string property Value (your column). If it's Length exceeds 100 the line should be wrapped:

foreach(Foo foo in foos)
{
    if(foo.Value.Length > 100)
        foo.Value = foo.Value.Insert(100, Environment.NewLine);
}
