Split by whatever so you only get the segment you want to sort by, and sort by that For example,

Angius•13mo ago

It turns a string into an int

SalightOP•13mo ago

s[^1] what is this means and i got one more question so as you can see it is a long data and i have more than that do i have to put quotes and comma for every single array element or can we make this easier to put that all by itself in array

cap5lut•13mo ago

s[^1] is short hand for s[s.Length - 1]

SalightOP•13mo ago

:d this code seems too complicated for me now i got one more question where did we define s what is s

cap5lut•13mo ago

well, u know that the index starts at 0 right?

SalightOP•13mo ago

cap5lut•13mo ago

ah, that s is from the lambda expression

SalightOP•13mo ago

isn't that the lambda, is all about short if else

cap5lut•13mo ago

if u mean something like condition ? value1 : value2, thats a ternary operator

SalightOP•13mo ago

oh mb

cap5lut•13mo ago

a lambda is a short written method

SalightOP•13mo ago

so let me ask you something the data up over here that i pasted it. Could we order by value? just with the order.by method?

SalightOP•13mo ago

so this is lambda right

cap5lut•13mo ago

yep

SalightOP•13mo ago

why didn't i see that before huh weird am i tweaking or what

cap5lut•13mo ago

well, the number => number * 2 part is the lambda expression

SalightOP•13mo ago

got it

cap5lut•13mo ago

function is a variable of the delegate type Func<T, R> anyway, OrderBy is a method that wants a "value selector" from u, it runs this selector for each entry to get values to sort by

SalightOP•13mo ago

what do you mean by value selector

cap5lut•13mo ago

well, imagine this example:

SalightOP•13mo ago

i was thinking like after the M char convert the number to int than sort this value in for loop

cap5lut•13mo ago

public record Person(string Name, int Age);

var persons = new Person[]
{
  new Person("Max", 35),
  new Person("Thomas", 18),
  new Person("Sophia", 73)
};

public record Person(string Name, int Age);

var persons = new Person[]
{
  new Person("Max", 35),
  new Person("Thomas", 18),
  new Person("Sophia", 73)
};

if u wanted to sort that array by the Name property, u would have to express that somehow

.OrderBy(p => p.Name)
.ToArray();
persons

public record Person(string Name, int Age);

SalightOP•13mo ago

okay i got this but my main question is how could i change this large data to this

new Person("Max", 35),
  new Person("Thomas", 18),
  new Person("Sophia", 73)

new Person("Max", 35),
  new Person("Thomas", 18),
  new Person("Sophia", 73)

cap5lut•13mo ago

how do u have that data? as file?

SalightOP•13mo ago

like this . exactly the same

cap5lut•13mo ago

well, is it one fat string? do u read it from a text file? is it the response of a http request?

SalightOP•13mo ago

it is a text file it is not that fat but i thought if i have to do this i don't want to do it manually

cap5lut•13mo ago

well, if its a file anyway we just read line by line ;p

SalightOP•13mo ago

can't we do something

cap5lut•13mo ago

looking at the format it seems like a - delimited string

SalightOP•13mo ago

yes that's what i am talking about can't we cut the

parts an make that parts an array index

cap5lut•13mo ago

so RB - 28 YAŞ- Türkay - 48 M would be split into RB , 28 YAŞ, Türkay and 48 M there is the string.Split(char) method

SalightOP•13mo ago

hmm no we have to cut it from M

SalightOP•13mo ago

so let me ask you something if we adjust this method to a string x or something is it going to be array

cap5lut•13mo ago

the Split method returns an array, yes

SalightOP•13mo ago

string[] x=data.Split('M'); like this

cap5lut•13mo ago

is data the whole file content as one string?

SalightOP•13mo ago

yes i think we solved it with this method you*

cap5lut•13mo ago

well, then the first step would be to split the content at its new lines or simply read the file line by line eg with this u read the file line by line

foreach (string line in File.ReadLines("path/to/your/file.txt"))
{
  // do something
}

foreach (string line in File.ReadLines("path/to/your/file.txt"))
{
  // do something
}

SalightOP•13mo ago

this makes more sense i was going to paste it all this in the IDE

cap5lut•13mo ago

oh yeah, im missing a ) at the end, fixed

SalightOP•13mo ago

you helped me a lot mate thank you very much i obey you

cap5lut•13mo ago

basically u need 3 things to get the data: - a class/record that can hold the information for one entry - a parse method that takes one line as string and returns an instance - a method that takes a file path and returns a list or array of all the instances it parsed with the first i cant help ya, because i have no clue what that data is about (besides that it has something to do with countries or regions)

SalightOP•13mo ago

i was thinking about the class but i didn't know the txt methods but thanks to you i learnt that thank you a lot again

cap5lut•13mo ago

the parse method will be a bit annoying unless u wanna/can use regular expressions and the last method is basically the foreach loop, which calls the parse method and stuffs the result into a list

SalightOP•13mo ago

these are bit of hard for me i am a newbie but i am considering all of them in my mind

cap5lut•13mo ago

hmm i guess u didnt learn about Regex yet, they are also quite cryptic, so not that for now anyway, all that starts with thinking about the properties an entry has and to create a class or record from that that will also mean u need to think about which data type each of these properties has

SalightOP•13mo ago

i just learnt interface there seems to be long road i guess but i will learn eventually how long have you been coding ?

cap5lut•13mo ago

u should have learned classes before interfaces i started learning by myself ~2000

SalightOP•13mo ago

2000 hours you meant by that right

cap5lut•13mo ago

no, the year 2000

SalightOP•13mo ago

wow

cap5lut•13mo ago

but that was in other languages. first started messing with c# in 2017, but really actively used it 2021 (basically i didnt give a shit about c# before it started being platform independent) but i gotta hit the sack for tonight, i have to wake up in 5h 😂

SalightOP•13mo ago

same :d anyways man goodnight thanks a lot

Omnissiah•13mo ago

you can extract a key for the value and sort in linq or you can add that key/value to a sorted collection
