I have written a function to get a string between 2 other strings but at the moment it is still returning the first part of the string and simply removing anything after the EndSearch value:
Public Function GetStringBetween(ByVal Haystack As String, ByVal StartSearch As String, ByVal EndSearch As String) As String
If InStr(Haystack, StartSearch) < 1 Then Return False

I want to get a string between 2 strings using Regex.The the string I have is "<b>hello</b>", now I want to get the string between <b> and </b>. I guess its something like Regex(String, "<b>(.+)</b>" but I'm not sure how to do it. I know there is this function called GetBetween but I guess this is a better way.
View 9 RepliesI would like you to help me out with the strings, which I find it difficulty to get from the html class. The first string I uses as pattern1 string, which it connected to the server to get the showtitle string from the html class, it is working fine. I couldn't be able to get the string on the second paragraph from the html class with pattern2 string, as the text goes on the blank. I need to get the string from the html class. The third pattern string, I am trying to get the string at the end of the html class so I got the blank text.

I need to put the first piece in a table celland then I may want to put the rest of thepieces in thier own table with thier own cell.I thought it would be easy but I'm wrong again.I tried for along time and I'm not coming upwith the answer.Heres the code I've been working with:
Code:Dim str As String = wriSystem.BodyDim myArray() As StringDim grid As Table = New TableDim row As TableRow = New TableRowDim cel As TableCell = New TableCell
myArray = Regex.Split(str, "<p>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase) For i As Integer

I am trying to split a data field in VB using the split function.
The data field has the following character strings"&|:"
which I need to base my split on.
Dim elements As String() = Regex.Split(dataField, "&|:")
field1 = elements(1)
field2 = elements(2)
The field1 and field2 still have a trailing "&|" chracters.How do I check if the field1 and field2 have these trailing characters? How do I delete them?PS - I have tried "&\|:" as the delimiters in the split function which did not work.
I am trying to make a regex that will match strings between a comma only if the comma is outside of complete brackets. Brackets inside of " " should not count. Examples below. [code]
View 6 RepliesI have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))

It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.

View 11 RepliesIn VB.net I've got the following line that removes all non-alphanumeric chars from a string:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W]", "")
I now need to extend this to remove non-alphanumeric chars that aren't [] or _. I've changed the line to:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W[]_]", "")
However I'm pretty sure that this says
replace non-word or [ or ] or _
how do I negate the tests for the [] and _ chars so that it says
replace non-word and not [ and not ] and not _
Some examples:
"[Foo Bar_123456]" => "[FooBar_123456]"
"[Foo Bar_123-456*]" => "[FooBar_123456]"
We know that VB string start and end with double quotes " "
So we have to use "" if we want " in VB string.
I wonder if there is a regular expression pattern which will match VB string?.
Using VB.NET, Is there a way to do this RegEx call in 1 step... instead of 2-3? I'm trying to find the word "bingo", or whatever is between the START and END words, but then also inside the inner FISH and CAKES words. My final results should be just "bingo".

I'm trying to find a pattern in a string, I guess is very easy but I'm terrible in regular expressions. I have a big text and I need to find all the next type of pattern:
{a|b|c}
That can be also something like this: {a|b|c|s|f|f|ft|r} or any number of items inside but at least 2 items so the pipe symbol is another key. Is this an easy regular expression? I'm using vb.net 2005.

I have a string (bufferedstring) which contains:
blah blah blah Version V3.5/7(030114) blah blah blah blah
I'd like to parse out the Version V3.5/7(030114) part using a Regex or Substring, but not sure how. The surrounding text could be dynamic in length and the 6 numbers between the parenthesis could be a different length as well (maybe 4).
how would I get just that string out?
I have a long string of HTML code that contains several quotes around objects in the string. I have a Regex.Replace() function to change the "img src" tag, due to the way its stored in a database.
Here is my string: <p><strong><u><font color="#cc0099">RICH TEXT BOLD UNDERLINE. PICTURE TO APPEAR BELOW</font></u></strong></p><p><strong><u><font color="#cc0099"/></u></strong></p><p><img src="/inlineimages/WorkOrder/6/1245981403232.jpg"/> </p><p /><p>W00T!</p>
[Code].....
Notice how the "<font color=" has single quotes around its value, and "<img src=" has single quotes, with a double quote jammed in between?
Also, is there an automated way to go from my initial string, to the "Dim input As String" I created? I had to manually type that out, editing the quotes just to try and make it work.
I have a string like
FVAL(XXX)="TRUE" AND FVAL(TT)="FALSE"
I want to replace all "TRUE" and "FALSE" by TRUE AND FALSE.
Now the resultant string should be

Will the code shown below be upto the mark for this.
Regex.Replace("FVAL(XXX)=""TRUE"" AND FVAL(TT)=""FALSE""", "[""]TRUE[""]", "TRUE", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
