replace bytes with strings using Replace()

Question

is it possible to replace bytes to chars in this method:

byte[] sttrings = new byte[pntrs[i + 1] - pntrs[i]];
stream.Position = pntrs[i];
stream.Read(sttrings, 0, sttrings.Length);
Strs[i] = Encoding.GetEncoding("SHIFT-JIS").GetString(sttrings).Split('\0')[0].Replace("[FF00]", "/et");

where 0x00FF (in hex editor it is FF 00) is the byte i want to replace with "/et"

Assuming you are looking for the unicode char 0x00FF (ÿ) you just need to use the Unicode escape character `\uxxxx.

byte[] sttrings = new byte[pntrs[i + 1] - pntrs[i]];
stream.Position = pntrs[i];
stream.Read(sttrings, 0, sttrings.Length);
Strs[i] = Encoding.GetEncoding("SHIFT-JIS").GetString(sttrings).Split('\0')[0].Replace("[\u00FF]" , "/et");

If you really want to replace the byte values you may be able to use the String constructor that takes in a char[].

string replacementString = new String(new char[] {'[', '\0', (char)0xFF, ']'});
