Hi,

I have a class containing ints, strings and anything else you'd expect to find in a class. I create a list of the class and then extract the strings and perform a Distinct() on them. That bit is easy.

Problem is this - the strings all have something in brackets. Sometimes the braces have a space on the inside before and after the single word inside of them and sometimes they don't.

My LINQ query looks like this

 List<string> tmp = (from m in cropTypes
                                  let cw = m.CropName
let kw = cw.Substring(0, cw.LastIndexOf(")") + 1)
                                let t = kw.IndexOf('(')
                                let p1 = kw.Substring(0, t)
let p2 = kw.Substring(t, (kw.Length - 1) - t + 1).Replace(" ", string.Empty)
                                let p3 = p1 + p2
                                  select p3).Distinct().ToList();

This query works fine but looks inefficient. Is there a way to rewrite this to remove any spaces inside of the braces?

Thanks

Paul
