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.

My problem is when the file I am reading contains an accented character the streamreader simply ignores this character. So if the line I read in was a 10 bytes line, it now only writes back out a 9 byte line. This is a huge issue as the file I am working with has to be a fixed length. I know there is some encoding that can be done to make this work, but know very little about it. [Code]

I want to create a VB.NET function that will take a string containing accented characters and convert it into the non-accented equivalent. My particular requirement is associated with non-English names. Some real examples are timac, Huki, Bttcher, Bj¸rnbakk, rnrohr and Synneg. I would want to convert those examples to Stimac, Hukic, Bottcher, Bjornbakk, Furnrohr and Synnevag, respectively.I am aware that a(with an umlaut accent) is often replaced by 'ue' but replacing it with u is better for my purposes. Similarly, I want to replace with o, rather than 'oe'. I am assuming that all the required conversions will need to be hard-coded in the function.Are there any slick ways to write such a function, ideally preserving the capitalisation in the original string?

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.

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.

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)

Recently I have started my computing course at college. I had little programming knowledge (as I'm more of a 'web developer') and it has come to the point of us learning some of the basics.I downloaded VB at home, and have been learning by myself when I have the chance... but I've hit a wall Basically, I have to create a program that searches for a character within a string.I managed to do this at college, but it has slipped my mind... So I could use some help The specification we have to meet is:An event (such as a button being clicked) must use a function to return something.The function must use the mid() function
From this, I've come up with:
Public Class Form1
Dim string1, searchterm As String
[code].....
The layout of my program is effectively 2 text boxes (named input1 & searchterm), a Label (named Output1) and a button (named search).ow, My problem (I think) is due to the mid().I'm not entirely sure I've used it correctly.

I know this has been answered before but I am having trouble with it still. I am trying to find if a textbox has an "x" as the first character. I am trying to use the left(string, 1) command as described in a couple other threads to just test the first character on the left but the only left function I can find relates to the left coordinates of the textbox.

I am Looking for a combobox that does a full search and O mean by that the following :
It starts searching data upon inserting or adding new character to the textbox of the combobox and vice-versa, which means that if I moved back by deleting a character then it starts searching again selecting the first data resembles the textbox. In another way I want a combobox class does exactly the same as combobox in Encylopedia.

I am trying to do a SQL query that checks for the presence or absence of a character's occurance in a field / column as a condition to retrieve the row. In this case I only need to test for existance of the specified character and in a similar query to test for the non existence. Not where it is or how many, just is it there or is it notI am using VB express.net 2008 and it uses, I think, MS SQL Server 2008.Using VB's instr() I can tell straight away if a string does or doesn't contain a character, but I would like to know this before I retrieve the row.
using the
WHERE .... and [mytable.myfield] LIKE 'Q'
or
WHERE .... and [mytable.myfield] NOT LIKE 'Q'
produces a result, but not a correct result. It does something but I can not say that it is working even part way.CHARINDEX gets an undefined function error MATCHES also gets an undefined function error?CONTAINS looks like it should work but I am still getting sytax errors with it, so I don't know how to use that predicate yet.

Outlook is causing some problems when being passed a mailto string with accented characters in it. Changing the codepage for my entire webpage that has this string on it solves this problem, but that causes other problems in the system, so I would not like to do that.
A string like such returns a lot of garbage characters:
"mailto:Helpdesk-someemail@email.com?subject=Mon bâtiment / Départementé / Bureau n'est pas répertorié"
Meanwhile, this cuts off the character after the "D"
"mailto:someemail@email.com?subject=Mon bâtiment / Départementé / Bureau n'est pas répertorié"

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.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. 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.

I've been working on a project that requires that I can go around webpages with different proxies, user-agents, and clear cookies. Now after looking all around the net, it looks like there are some solutions for each of these, but I can never get them working. I was wondering if there was a wrapper for this control that fixed all of these problems or even just a different control I could include.

I am trying to execute a command that works with hard coded variables, but when I try and replace the name test below with selectedname, I cannot get the syntax for escaping the command. The basic idea is I am using WMI to query the app pool names and then selecting one and storing in the slectedname variable, which works when I test with a msgbox(selectedname) line. It also shows up when I am stepping through, but does not get passed to the bottom command. The function where I am trying to execute the command is
