I have a VB.NET (2010) project that contains a generic list, and I'm trying to figure out how to remove any "empty" items from the list. When I say "empty", I mean any item that does not contain any actual characters (but it may contain any amount of whitespace, or no whitespace at all).
For example, let's say this is my list...
Dim MyList As New List(Of String)
MyList.Add("a")
MyList.Add("")
MyList.Add("b")
MyList.Add(" ")
MyList.Add("c")
MyList.Add(" ")
MyList.Add("d")
I need it so that if I did a count on that list, it would return 4 items, instead of 7. For example...
Dim ListCount As Integer = MyList.Count
MessageBox.Show(ListCount) ' Should show "4"
It would be nice if there was something like...
MyList.RemoveEmpty
Anyways... I've been searching Google for a solution to this for the past few hours, but haven't been able to turn up anything so far. So... any ideas?
BTW, I'm targeting the .NET 2.0 framework for this project.
Thanks in advance!
