.net - URL Encoding - Illegal Character Replacement?

Dec 24, 2010

I am doing some url redirections in a project that I am currently working on. I am new to web development and was wondering what the best practise was to remove any illegal path characters, such as ' ? etc.I'm hoping I don't have to resort to manually replacing each character with their encoded urls.

I have tried UrlEncode and HTMLEncode, but UrlEncode doesn't cater for the ? and HTMLEncode doesn't cater for '

E.G. If I was to use the following:

Dim name As String = "Dave's gone, why?"
Dim url As String = String.Format("~/books/{0}/{1}/default.aspx", bookID, name)
Response.Redirect(url)

I've tried wrapping url like this:

Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.UrlEncode(url)

And

Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.HTMLEncode(url)

Character Replacement In LINQ?

Apr 26, 2011

I was trying to put together a solution to:Insert spaces between words on a camel-cased token..Essentially, he wants to turn 'ThisIsATest' into 'This Is A Test'. I thought, 'Oh, that's easy, I can do it with LINQ' but I struggled with it. [code]Is the path I started to go down, but I'm having trouble getting the results into something I can work with. I even added the .ToString to try and get back an array of Strings, but I'm still getting an error.[code]I believe that means I'm getting a collection of System.Char, System.String instead of just a System.String like I want.

Character Replacement In Strings?

Nov 30, 2010

How fast can I replace characters in a string?

So the background on this question is this. We have a couple of applications that communicate with each other and with client's applications through sockets. These socket messages contain non printable characters (e.g. chr(0)) which need to get replaced with a predetermined string (e.g "{Nul}"} because the socket messages are kept in a log file. On a side note, not every log message will need to have characters replaced.

Now I started off on this little adventure reading from This MSDN link which I found from a different post from this site.

The current method we used...at the beginning of the day...was using string builder to check for all the possible replacements such as...

Public Function ReplaceSB(ByVal p_Message As String) As String
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder(p_Message)
sb.Replace(Chr(0), "{NUL}")

[Code]....

This so far has been the fastest way I have found to process these messages. I have tried various other ways of going about this as well like converting the incoming string into a character array and comparing along with also trying to loop through the string rather than the chrArray.

Illegal Character In IO.DirectoryInfo

Jan 5, 2012

When I use the code Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:")it works fine, but when i use a string variable named "infos" i.e.Dim di As New IO. DirectoryInfo(infos)which takes an input from user, it gives me an ArguementException "Illegal Characters in Path".I tried replacing the variable, checked its value in the msgbox which is fine, but the double quote is added directly when it executes the IO.DirectoryInfo line and throws an exception. (Check the attachment)I have also tried infos.Replace("""",String.Empty) to remove the possible double quote, but it still holds that double quote.And when I use the same variable "infos" with substring to get the Drive, it works fine

Accented Character Replacement For Search Then Reinserted Afterwards

Apr 12, 2010

Basically my issue is that users would like to search for a french word that has accented characters but without typing in the accented characters and then have the actual accented word appeared highlighted if found... So for example they would type in "declare" but in the result sets it would look like "déclare" and if found "déclare" would be highlighted.

My first thought was to just simply replace the characters with a regex but then I remembered that I would need to re-insert the replaced characters after the search... I was thinking of then using some sort of character map that would track position and the character so that when the search was finshed I could put the result set back to the way it was.

File / Folder Name - Illegal Character In Path

Feb 25, 2009

I have a problem with the following snippet: (working on Visual Studio 2008, Net-Framwork 3.5, all Service-packs) Vb.Net.

My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(cc + TmpName + cc, cc + OnlyName + cc)
Cc equals to Chr(34)
or also
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(TmpName,OnlyName )

The Problem occurs if in one of the Strings the Character ";" is embedded. Don't ask me why this Char is in the Filename - it is. An "Illegal Character in Path" exception occurs.

Encoding One Character Wrong

Jun 16, 2010

I have a byte array that I'm encoding to a string:[code]Then I write that to a file via IO.File.AppendAllText.If I open that file in 010 Editor (to view the binary data) it displays as this:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 3F 0A 01 32 31 36..The original byte array contained 89 at position 11, and the encoded string contains 3F.If I change my encoding to Encoding.Default.GetString, it gives me:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 E2 80 B0 0A 01 32 31 36.

Prevent Auto Character Encoding In .NET?

Jun 8, 2011

Using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2010, I have two files:

"test2.aspx" and "test2.aspx.vb".

The aspx file is basically as follows:

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="test2.aspx.vb" Inherits="App_test2" %>

Is there something I can do so the source code doesn't escape characters like "&", "'", "<", and ">" ?

Character Encoding - Converting UTF-8 To ASCII?

Feb 20, 2009

I am writing a console application, which reads emails from different email boxes and processes through them. Emails are received from various automated systems. The email messages are logged and/or sent forward.

The problem is that some emails are encoded in UTF-8 and transfer-encoded in quoted-printable which messes up special characters (mainly ä,ö and å). I have not found any solution to convert them in readable format.

For example "ä" in quoted-printable is "=C3=A4". Using a normal conversion methods the result is "Ã" (gibberish).

I shamelessly ripped this example conversion table from here: [URL]

[Code].....

So how do I get the real codepoint from UTF-8 value? I'd rather not use any external libraries. Besides I've tried a couple already and they failed.

Database - Fixed-size Character Encoding?

Jun 27, 2011

I am developing, in VB.Net, an application that reads from text files using a FileStream Object. I do not use a StreamReader, since the buffering it does makes it impossible to use Seek.hose text files form a database, with both index and data files. In index files, all fields are fixed-length, which is not the case in data files.I've recently run into a problem. Since some of my files contain accents, the corresponding characters take more that 1 Byte. Therefore, when I seek in the index file, and offset appears the rest of my index file is not read in the right way

Implement Custom Character Encoding Into An Application?

Feb 20, 2012

I was wondering how to implement a custom character set for use by an application, i.e. hex bytes that are read by the program then converted and displayed in the window. If this requires first converting the bytes in a file to an already implemented character set, I'm cool with it - I'll go with whatever works or works best. I'm writing with VB.NET 2010, and running Windows 7 Home Premium x64, by the way.

MemoryStream Truncating Input - Replace All Instances Of A Certain Character With A Unicode Character?

I am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
