Why won't this string operation work?

string tS = "JOB !12 JAN 2002 ! 12:22:12";

tS.Replace("2","r");
Console.Write(tS);

the output is:
JOB !12 JAN 2002 ! 12:22:12

although the replace method should have replaced the 2 with r


HOWEVER

this one works
Console.Write(tS.Replace("2","r"));

Anyone has any suggestions???

best regards

You need to assign the result of the replace() method to a new string. When working with string objects, a new string is created everytime you make a change to the string. If you are doing alot of string manipualtion, read up on the StringBuilder class.

Code:

---

    string myNewString = tS.Replace("2","r");
    Console.Write(myNewString);
