int count   yourText Length - yourText TrimStart      Length

User · Answer

You could do this  it doesn t require LINQ  but it s not the best way to do it since you make split the whole string and put it in an array and just pick the length of it  you could better just do a while loop and check every character   but it works   int count   test Split      Length - 1

One approach you could take is the following method      Counts how many of a certain character occurs in the given string public static int CharCountInString char chr  string str        return str Split chr  Length-1      As per the parameters this method returns the count of a specific character within a specific string   This method works by splitting the string into an array by the specified character and then returning the length of that array -1

int count   myString TakeWhile c   gt  c         Count      And without LINQ  int count   0  while count  lt  myString Length  amp  amp  myString count          count

You could use the Count method  var count   mystring Count x   gt  x

This is a similar Solution to find how many email addresses included in a string  This way is more efficient    int count   0  foreach  char c in email Trim        if  c         count

User · Answer

The simplest approach would be to use LINQ   var count   text TakeWhile c   gt  c         Count      There are certainly more efficient approaches  but that s probably the simplest
