Suggestion: add optional “where” clause to “foreach” statement in C#

Wouldn’t it be nice if I could use in C# the following syntax?

for (SomeType repeaterVariable

      in SomeEnumerable

      where someBooleanExpressionOfRepeaterVariable)

  doSomethingUsingRepeaterVariable;

e.g. use this one:

image

instead of this one:

image

BTW, if you wonder what FixTime does, it prepends 0: to time strings to make sure they are of format h:m:s.f

Have added this as a comment to another person’s suggestion that I see has similar format, so please vote for that one:

    I guess from the above example this can be done like

    value.Count(x => x == ‘:’);

    and if its something more complex you can create your own extension similar to Count :

    public static int Count(this IEnumerable source, Func predicate);

      Thanks, that was just an example. In that specific case I don’t use Linq for performance reasons
