You could use Linq's Aggregate function:
string s = "the
quick brown
dog,jumped;over the lazy fox.";
char[] chars = new char[] { ' ', ';', ',', '
', ' ', '
' };
string snew = chars.Aggregate(s, (c1, c2) => c1.Replace(c2, '
'));
Here's the extension method:
public static string ReplaceAll(this string seed, char[] chars, char replacementCharacter)
{
return chars.Aggregate(seed, (str, cItem) => str.Replace(cItem, replacementCharacter));
}
Extension method usage example:
string snew = s.ReplaceAll(chars, '
');
