c# - Remove a character in a string, provided it is enclosed by brackets -


in advance, haven't learned regex yet (though i'm happy use 1 if supply it).

i have strings this:

"zum abschluss kommen (nachdrücklich; abgeschlossen werden)".

what want replace character ; : whenever occurs somewhere in brackets(). ie: want string end

"zum abschluss kommen (nachdrücklich: abgeschlossen werden)".

the thing causing me trouble there amount of text within brackets usual (clumsy) string manip not helping me.

extra example:

"alle mann deck! (seemannsspr.; ein kommando)"

->

"alle mann deck! (seemannsspr.: ein kommando)"

i can't replace() because full strings contain ; want keep. eg:

"das deck reinigen, scheuern; auf deck sein; unter, von deck gehen; alle mann deck! (seemannsspr.; ein kommando);"

got suggestions?

with restriction parenthesis/brackets not nested or unbalanced, consider regular expression uses positive look-behind.

this behind ensures there leftward ( closer ) , must inside bracket set:

(?<=[(][^)]*); 

in use:

regex.replace(input, @"(?<=[(][^)]*);", ":"); 

if initial constraints not valid, regular expression work "unpredictably".
