masking

How do I specify how many characters I want to mask

I am unable to use mask on C#

Why are you converting a string to a string?

And what do you mean by "mask"?

basically X out the string

When entering it, or when printing it out?

printing

Using the string constructor to create a string with n letters X in it would be one part of it

Cutting out the first n characters of your string would be the second

as i want to mask out the front character specified by me\

Joining those strings together would be the last

like how many char i want to X out

That'd be the n

I do not understand

Sry as i am quite new to c#

This will create a string with 7 *s in it

So that's the first part of solving your problem

Cool

This will take only some part of the string

So that solves the second part

And this concatenates two strings together

like using existing string

I want to X it out

Cool

I know

I gave you the solution, now it's on you to implement it

If you're expecting to be spoonfed a ready-made solution, I have bad news for you

ahhh

thx for your help
