I have two array lists
dim Colors1 = New ArrayList
Colors1.Add("Blue")
Colors1.Add("Red")
[code]....
I would like to find out which colors are missing from Colors2 that are found in Colors1
I did this before, but i totally forgot how to do it.I have an array, the array contains strings with 2 seperators.like so:
name1 / name2 / name3
Basicly i want name1, name2, and name3 in 3 seperate lists, or arraylists. But, i don't know how to do it.Each line is being read from a file.
I have this string that shall come in from another file. The string has maximum length of 102 digits. I need to compare the string with numbers in a pair and delete those from that string.
e.g - 6125223659587412563265... till 102
numbers that compare with this string-
first set - 61
new string = 25223659587412563265
second set - 36
new string = 252259587412563265
and so on. the set of numbers shall go to maximum of 51 pairs = 102, which shall give an end result of string = "" How can i achieve this in a loop?
this is not answer, this is editing the question. i dont know why but the edit button just vaniashed so i have to edit question here. No duplicates will ever be in this string. and in the end when compares are done, i want to see what numbers are left in pairs.
i want to compare each character is string with the pattern and if any character matches it should give error.. eg, i have "ABCDEF" as patern to matched with.
and "OULJYSA" to be macthed with the patern, as u see A is common, so in that case it should display msgbox("match found") is there any way to do it? i did it in php using regex and preg_match()
How can i compare two string values in vb.net? i've tried compare, equals functions but it's not giving me the correct result. what i'm trying to compare is as follows. also let me know if the code is correct. i'm new to vb.net

Here is my code for the string comparison function
Public Function CmpKeys(ByVal oldkey As String, ByVal newKey As String) As Boolean
Dim cmpText As Integer

My question is whenever I compare "alt+ctrl+w" with "alt+ctrl+W" it tells me that both the strings are the same, but as you can see that both of these strings are not equal because it got small 'w' and the other one is 'W', how come both of these strings are equal?
I am attempting to use the string.compare method in VB. One of the strings come off a list box that was converted over to a string(strLotto), and the other string (stringInput) is coming off of user inputted data. I am trying to compare the two and return the values that are the same into lstSameNums.
Public Sub UserData()
lstUserNums.Items.Clear()
Dim intNum As Integer

I have two arraylists, and I would like to have a new arraylist with only the uncommon items. Is this the "best" or at least decent way to do it?
[Code]...
OK, so I am creating a bit of code that will allow me to randomly pick one "card" from a "deck", delete that "card" from the deck, and repeat. I found in all of my research that vb.net has the arraylist that is supposed to be very simple in these situations. However, when I try to populate them with a For Each statement, I only get odd numbers in the array list. What am I missing?
Dim a As New ArrayList
For i As Integer = 1 To 52
a.Add(i)

I have two arraylists that contains links in one and the root url in the other. Sometimes the lists dont equal in number and I would like to iterate through the links list and if it contains a matching root url add it to a third list but also avoid any duplicates. I tried this but am not getting consistent results.
For Each link As String In urls
For Each part As String In post
If part.Contains(link) Then
[code]....
Perhaps there is another way; basically the part in post is a link to a page and contains the root url( which is link in urls). After extracting all these I need to ensure the 2 lists match.
I was trying to use ArrayLists with My.Settings but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work.If I make a setting called "Words" and make it an ArrayList without a value, the program has an error every time I try to run it. If I try to give it a value in the project properties window it always gives me an incorrect data type error. Besides, I don't want it to have a value, I want it to be blank such as when declaring a New ArrayList. The only way I can get an ArrayList My.Setting to work is by clicking in the Value box, clicking the "..." button in the corner and adding some kind of Object with the add button. This automatically puts some kind of wierd object in the first index of the array list. If I don't convert Item(0) of the arraylist to a string then it also gives me an error when I try to read it. As a string it comes up as System.Object. Even though I can use the my.settings.Words ArrayList with an object in the first index, how can I get the setting to start off blank without having to constantly avoid the first index?
View 10 RepliesI have been tempted to use List(Of T) in VB.NET instead of ArrayLists by someone-who-must-not-be-named-Robinson.Essentially, what I need to store are three things: One string, two integers, and maybe two booleans. I liked using ArrayList, because it treated all its elements as "Objects" so I didn't really have problems storing that variety of elements.But now I have been thinking on using List(Of T). But how do I do to store that variety of elements of mine? I have been thinking on making a Structure holding the five elements.Sounds like a good idea? I heard somewhere that Structures are expected to have a short life. But I fear I will be having my structures for... forever, as long as my app lives. That makes any difference? Finally, what if I needed to create... dunno...... 125000000 Lists, each containing a structure? Is that possible (and good)?

note ive tried more than string.compare does it have something with return false being at the bottom of the function. becuase ive tried adding an exit function once it returns true, but still I get returned with false to make it even more frustraiting the clipboard results are test/test
I am making a question and answer game, and I would like to be able to give the user some slack in the answers if they were to misspell a word by a letter or two, like if the answers was Jumps and they type Jump if you did a comparison of them like If string1 = sring2 then do whatever, but obliviously those to string dont match, so it would return false, even though it is the right answer, I came up with this routine to compare two words and if the percentage of the letters are higher then 82 % right it will give you credit for your answer.

I have a tblVersion that contains the versions of my application:
VersionID Version
VersionID is a bigint primary key, version is a ntext column that holds the current version... I want to be able to pick the row that has the highest version number, but version could be in this format:
MyApplication 1.0.1
If I try to convert that to a int32 it will throw an exception obviously. I would like to know if some of you have a idea how to solve this issue. I could of course make sure the column will only contain numeric values but this gives a little more flexibility.
for example i have two strings 0000 and 0001 then
0000
0001
----
result= 000- here difference is indicated by - sign
I need to create a code using String Compare() and Cases to figure out if a word, phrase, or what is typed in a textbox is a palindrome.

View 16 RepliesI have three arraylists (datasets and subsets) that I need to combine into one arrraylist so I can databind it to a repeater control and then present data to the user. As far as I know, you can only bind the repeater with one datasource (please correct me if this is wrong) that's why I'm combining these arraylists.Each arraylist has an ID from the database which I can use as a datakey to keep the data aligned. How do I combine these lists?

I am trying to convert an algorithm to use them in order to save memory. However, I am struggling to achieve error-free code while using "Strict On".
Here is a basic version of the code I am attempting to use.
Code:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Module Program
[Code]...
It works when I do not use the Strict option. How do I improve the code to compile error-free?
I've read that it's unwise to use ToUpper and ToLower to perform case-insensitive string comparisons, but I see no alternative when it comes to LINQ-to-SQL. The ignoreCase and CompareOptions arguments of String.Compare are ignored by LINQ-to-SQL (if you're using a case-sensitive database, you get a case-sensitive comparison even if you ask for a case-insensitive comparison). Is ToLower or ToUpper the best option here? Is one better than the other? I thought I read somewhere that ToUpper was better, but I don't know if that applies here. (I'm doing a lot of code reviews and everyone is using ToLower.)

I have a method that takes 2 string arguments. One that contains a normal string and one that contains a string with one or more wildcard characters. I've tried the following code:
Private Function DoesMatchWildcardString(ByVal fullString As String, ByVal wildcardString As String) As Boolean
Dim stringParts() As String
Dim matches As Boolean = True

The I realized that it won't work properly. If I have ABCD as a normal and A*CD as my wildcard string the match will work even if my normal string was CDAB, which is not what I want.

I have a situation that I just can't seem to sort out in my head. What I have is a string that I would like to compare with another. Simple until I add the variable conditions to this task.
What I have is a string that looks like "t-EL" , "t-A" , "t-D" , "t-G" , "t-B" , or "t-EH" now the trouble both the strings could have characters leading these of following these. In every case there will be at lease One number after these ie "t-A0" or "t-A2" but could have a double digit number like "t-A13". Leading these strings could contain "!" or "#". In every case I'm only concerned with the character after the "-" but the trouble is some times I need to differentiate between the "EH" and "EL". I could find the location of the "-" and extract the next character and if it is "E" then the next two characters. Can we find a better way?
I might have come up with something by just typing this up Check it out... Seems to be working for me

Background: I'm writing a application that will allow users to enters items on a form using textboxes, radio buttons and checkboxes. I then take each input item and write it to it's own arraylist. After the user is all done entering data the information in the arraylists will write out to a single .txt file.
