public static bool IsEnglish(string input)

    const string Numeric = "0123456789";
    const string Alpha = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    const string Punctuation = " .,-=+()[]{}¬";
    const string Special = "\"\\\t\r\n";
    const string Lookup = Numeric + Alpha + Punctuation + Special;
    input = "" + input;
    for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; i++)
    {
    if (!Lookup.Contains(input[i].ToString()))

Answer 11

User360451555 posted

Ok sure it worked out for me.....it doesnt display well in Console Applications but in windows forms and WFP, it sure is a superb thing....but there is one more thing remainig for this to become perfect..

You see if i have a text of the sort "RAJAB ISHAQ ZEMBE رجب إسحاق زيمبي" the application successfully gets the Arabic portion of the text, unfortunately, it displays the Arabic portion minus its original spaces and i would like to maintain those white spaces so that someone's name is not mispelled in Arabic

Answer 12

User2060565753 posted

at start of logic split on basis of "space"

 

stringvar.ToString().Split('');

Once you have array traverse it throuh the loop and regularexpression I have given..

does that answer ur question?
