How to get only the first letter of the first 2 words of a long string? – Asp.net

I have a long string name. Example: "Ahmet Enes Söylemez". I want to get only "AE" letters from this array. How can I do it ?

@{ string result = string.Concat(kullanici.AdSoyad.Where(char.IsUpper));
@result
 }

    I suggest using Regular Expressions here and match these two words. If we assume that the word of interes must start from capital letter and must continue with low case leters we can implement it it like this:

    using System.Linq;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

...

string text = "Ahmet Enes Söylemez";

string letters = string.Concat(Regex 
  .Matches(text, @"p{Lu}p{Ll}+") // match each word of interest
  .Cast<Match>()
  .Take(2)       // We want just two first matches
  .Select(match => match.Value[0])); // Initial letters from each match

    Here we use p{Lu}p{Ll}+ which is

    p{Lu}  - capital letter
p{Ll}+ - followed by one or more low case letters

    You’re almost there: Just .Take(2)

    string result = string.Concat(kullanici.AdSoyad.Where(char.IsUpper).Take(2));
