I want to check if a string is utf-8 encoded.
UPDATE: So, the problem is: I have a php webservice. This webservice has a method that receives a string. I'm trying to pass a VB.NET JSON string to this webservice. json_decode always returns an error, saying that the string is not utf-8. If I pass the string and convert it using PHP utf8_encode, the accents get wrong!
I got an app, which receives data via a R232 port, convert it to a string and on the other side I got a database, where the strings are saved. How can I find a way to compare the string with all strings in one database column and get back the another stringform the same row in this database. I never programmed a database
View 1 RepliesWe know that VB string start and end with double quotes " "
So we have to use "" if we want " in VB string.

The following code checks a strings if it contains particular words and if yes it removes them. The problem is that it also removes characters that it shouldn't. For example: If user_input3 contains a word like lo(ok) it would remove the last characters ok. How can i modify the code to remove whole words only?

I have a string, lets say "((HRARNT*50)/100) + ((HRA*10)/100)"
And, i have value for HRA, HRARNT in a DGV and i want to replace it with its value to get "((5000*50)/100) + ((3500*10)/100)"
But, problem arises when it replace HRARNT with "3500RNT" as it got HRA value in DGV.
Now, i want it to first check if its prefixed or suffixed with +,-,*,/,),( then only it should replace with its subsequent value from DGV.
Though, first i tried placing HRA,HRARNT in [] and then replace, which worked fine, but users don't want to add [].
How to implement above logic?
I got a list of strings. And I want to check for every string in there. Sometimes, a string can have the suffix _anim(X) where X is an integer. If such string has that kind of suffix, I need to check for all other strings that have the same "base" (the base being the part without suffix) and finally group such strings and send them to my function.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm reading data in from a comma-separated text file and storing the data in an array for later use. Some of the values are to remain as strings, and I need to convert some to integers, for which I was trying to use, for example, integer.parse(ar(0)).

I've been at this for a while Googling away, but I can't find a reasonable solution. I know I could look for things like: 'http' etc, but these come in an almost unlimited number of variations. I could also created a webbrequest to test its existence, but I think this could cause an unwanted slow down in the programs operations.
