Methods

Left

Returns the leftmost characters from a string.

"A sample string".Left(8);   // "A sample"
"Hello".Left(10);             // "Hello"
"Hello".Left(0);              // ""

Right

Returns the rightmost characters from a string.

"A sample string".Right(6);  // "string"
"Hello".Right(10);            // "Hello"
"Hello".Right(0);             // ""

PadCenter

Centers a string within a specified width, padding both sides with spaces or a specified character.

"Hello".PadCenter(11);        // "   Hello   "
"Hello".PadCenter(11, '-');   // "---Hello---"
"Hello".PadCenter(3);         // "Hello"

ToCamelCase

Converts a string to camelCase.

// Input                              → Output
"A sample string for processing"      → "aSampleStringForProcessing"
"hello world"                         → "helloWorld"

ToKebabCase

Converts a string to kebab-case.

// Input                              → Output
"A sample string for processing"      → "a-sample-string-for-processing"
"Hello World"                         → "hello-world"

ToPascalCase

Converts a string to PascalCase.

// Input                              → Output
"A sample string for processing"      → "ASampleStringForProcessing"
"hello world"                         → "HelloWorld"

ToSnakeCase

Converts a string to snake_case.

// Input                              → Output
"A sample string for processing"      → "a_sample_string_for_processing"
"Hello World"                         → "hello_world"

ToTitleCase

Capitalizes the first letter of each word, preserving spaces and punctuation.

// Input                              → Output
"a sample string for processing"      → "A Sample String For Processing"
"hello world"                         → "Hello World"

Note: This is a general-purpose implementation that delegates to TextInfo.ToTitleCase. Proper names, addresses, and other domain-specific text often require specialized handling (e.g., "McDonald", "van der Berg", "O'Brien") that is not provided here.

Usage Example

using Wolfgang.Extensions.String;

// Substring helpers
var path = "/usr/local/bin/app";
var first5 = path.Left(5);   // "/usr/"
var last3 = path.Right(3);   // "app"

// Formatted table with centered headers
Console.WriteLine($"{"Name".PadCenter(10)}|{"Date".PadCenter(12)}");
Console.WriteLine("----------+------------");
Console.WriteLine($"{"Steve",-10}|{"04/13/2026".PadCenter(12)}");

// Case conversions
var input = "user login count";
Console.WriteLine(input.ToCamelCase());   // "userLoginCount"
Console.WriteLine(input.ToKebabCase());   // "user-login-count"
Console.WriteLine(input.ToPascalCase());  // "UserLoginCount"
Console.WriteLine(input.ToSnakeCase());   // "user_login_count"
Console.WriteLine(input.ToTitleCase());   // "User Login Count"
