C# - How to replace question mark with any character

[gogaz]

Hi there,
I have a small problem. I need to replace the "?" character from user
input string to "-". I have tried:

Regex.Replace(sStr,"\?","-"); //GIVES ERROR
Regex.Replace(sStr,@"?","-"); //GIVES ERROR
Regex.Replace(sStr,@"\?","-"); //DOES NOT WORKS AS IT LOOKS FOR "\?"

Please help!

Regards

str = str.Replace("?" "-");

If there's a particular reason you need to use a regular expression, let us
know.

How about String.Replace() ?

I agree with Karl on this one. The issue here is the ? has a special meaning
in Regex. To do what you desire, I believe you would have to use
Regex.Escape to escape the ? (make it a ? instead of the Regex special
character ?).
