.net - Modify Strings Using A "For Each" Loop?

Jul 21, 2010

'Why doesn't this work?

Dim myStrings As String() = New String() {string1, string2, string3,}
For Each s As String In myStrings
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(s) Then

[code]....

If string1 contains "foo", my intention is that string1 contains "-foo-" after the loop executes. How can I make this work?I'm guessing that this code makes copies of my strings and modifies those. How can I modify my strings in a loop?Update I've modified the code to use array indexes:

' It still doesn't work.
Dim myStrings As String() = New String() {string1, string2, string3}
For i As Integer = 0 To myStrings.Count() - 1

[code]....

The result of this code, referring specifically to the array and index for each element, modifies the array, but my strings still have the same old values. Apparently, initializing an array like this simply copies my values into a new array. How can I modify my original values in a loop?

Emphasis: The array is just for looping purposes. I need to modify string1, string2, and string3 similarly, but once this loop is thru, there is no more use for the array. Oh, and my real code has more than 3 strings.

Let me just say that if I were using a language with more pointers and references, I think I would simply have an array of pointers that point to string1, string2, andstring3`. It seems redundant to copy these strings into an array.

Way To Concatenate List Of Strings Into A Comma-separated Strings, Where Strings Are Members Of An Object?

Oct 16, 2009

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

Evaluates Loop Condition In Do...Loop Statment To Determine Whether Loop Instructions Should Be Processed

Mar 14, 2011

Makes the following statement about the code below:

**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.

Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?

See below.

Option Explicit On
Option Strict On

Prepend A String To All Strings In A List Of Strings?

Aug 5, 2010

I 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))

[code].....

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

VS 2008 Using List Of Strings Or Array Of Strings?

Oct 16, 2009

I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:

I have to write a function that returns array of strings.

How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.

Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?

Find Strings Inside Strings?

Aug 15, 2011

I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;

Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)

[Code].....

Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.

However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".

How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?

DataGridView - Convert Nulls To Empty Strings And Display It In The Grid As Empty Strings

May 14, 2009

I have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

Create A Loop To Loop The Locations Of The Platform?

So I made a simple patform game where the player has to jump quickly while the platforms move to the bottom of the screen, as to not touch the bottom of the screen. But, I need to know how to create a loop to loop the locations of the platform. This means that after twenty or so platforms, the same platforms come up again, so that the player will have an "endless" game. I've declared all the platform's locations relative to the location of the first repeating platform:

Modify A VB6/asp App To .NET?

Dec 22, 2009

I have an existing application written in html/asp that calls routines from a standard dll (written in VB6), and (3) COM+ components (also written in VB6). The db is MS SQL.

This is a very small and benign application that does logic processing. It is becoming increasing difficult to find shared hosting sites that allow registration of standard dll's (using reg32) and the COM+ components (using the IIs tools).

On the other hand, I was told by one hosting service (goDaddy) that they can host apps that are written in .NET>>>

"DLLs written to the .NET Framework specification can be run automatically from the /bin folder of your ASP.NET enabled website."

What does this entail and can it be done? i.e., can I convert the older VB6 components (and the asp/html code?) to .NET?

Iterate Through String And Modify

Mar 5, 2010

I've done some VB Script and I know C++ fairly intricately. I'm having trouble understanding, and making for loops with if statements perform as expected. What I'm trying to do is iterate through a string and turn all of the "a"s into "c"s "b"s into "d"s and "c"s into "e"s? Here's what I've got thus far and I'm keeping the old string intact.

For i = 0 To first_string.Length - 1
If first_string(i) = "a" Then
second_string = first_string.Replace("a", "c")
ElseIf first_string(i) = "b" Then
[Code] .....

I can do this for loop in my sleep in C++, but it seems that the increment counter i is never what I expect it to be. It should start as 0 (first letter of string) replace whichever of the three it finds, then change to 1 (second letter of the string) and replace whatever it finds there right?
