Split your string on the /, remove all empty entries, then reassemble the string.

No need to remove; there is on string.Split option to remove empty line.
Besides, this solution would be a bit bulky, because only one "replace all" needed, string.Replace.

Solution 3

See this sample code:

C#

string test1 = "test1/test2/ /test3";
test1 = test1.Replace(" ", ""); //remove white space
test1 = test1.Replace("//", "/"); //remove additional slashes
MessageBox.Show(test1);

This is not "nothing"; Nothing is a VB.NET expression for null.

I shouldn't have used the term "nothing" but I meant that literally.

Solution 2

This is pseodo code. Can be implemented in C++
