Change Case Of Specified Characters In A String?
Sep 27, 2011
I have all-one-case strings representing postal addresses stored in a database, but I want to capitalize US state abbreviations (e.g. " ca " to " CA ") when the abbreviation is separated from the rest of the string by a space on either side.The lousy way I could do it would be to have 50 statements like
If addressString.Contains(" al ") Then addressString.Replace(" al ", " AL ")
If addressString.Contains(" ak ") Then addressString.Replace(" ak ", " AK ")
...
Edit: That is a really lousy way! Here's what I did instead:
addressString = StrConv(addressString, VbStrConv.ProperCase)
'This needed to be done anyway, but it turns " ak " into " Ak ".
Static stateAbbrevs As New List(Of String)(New String() {" Ak ", " Al ", " Ar "...})
For Each a In stateAbbrevs
If addressString.Contains(a) Then

I am trying to write a code that converts characters in string using a case select statements. For instance if I type the word "aeiou" the the word "<>[]/", also if I type "AEIOU" then <>[]/" should print but its not working here is a sample of my code so far.

I have a lot of really long strings that I want to test. Is it possible to use the CASE statement and compare it to the first 25 characters of the string to get a match?

I'm having issues with finding something in list, and removing the item, ignoring the case of characters in string.
The code goes:
Dim listItems As New List(Of String)
Dim pattern As String = "AbC"
Dim array() As String
array = {"ABC", "abc"}
listItems.AddRange(array)
Here I'd like to remove all items from listItems, that are abc, no matter what case single characters of item are, including mixed case items. So in this example, every items should be removed
listItems.Remove(listItems.Find(Function(r) r = pattern))
If I change pattern to match the case of item, then item #2 gets removed:
pattern = "abc"
listItems.Remove(listItems.Find(Function(r) r = pattern))
How can I find item in listItems, ignoring the case characters in pattern?

Any way to change the case of a string using the String.Format command. For example, you can do this:
String.Format("{0,50}","My Info")
And it gives it a fixed width string output, I need to allow the user to change the case. All they can pass in is the format "{0,50}" so NO .net functionality, we wrap it up for them. In VB6 you could use a ">" "<" to change the case, surely M$ must have added a way to do this?

I have a string of characters, but I would like to have a string of hexdecimal characters where the hexadecimal characters are converted by turning the original characters into integers and then those integers into hexadecimal characters. How do I do that?

I'm making an application that will change position of two characters in Word.
[Code]...
Program works good, it is mixing characters good, but it doesn't write text to the file. It will write text in console, but not in file. Note: Program is working only with words that are divisible by 2, but it's not a problem. Also, it does not return any error message.

I need to create a console program that allows you to enter a string, of which is then outputted in reverse.
Sample:
Input: Diewas
Output: saweiD
Apparently I need to find out about strings and will also need to use a loop.

Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I've got the following that has got multiple values of a particular variable and I don't want to stack up to a lot of IF ELSE statements to handle them, so I'd be grateful if some one could very kindly modify the code by using the SELECT CASE statement. Also, I'd like dgMarksEntry.Item(7, i).Value and dgMarksEntry.Item(8, i).Value to handle RANK and COUNT the number of items entered respectively. [Code]

Is there a way to set the IDE to automatically update all usage of a variable when the case is changed in the declaration? I know ... if I typed it correctly in the first place it wouldn't matter! And I do know how to use search/replace, I'm just lazy.

I have written a program that uses an array of the english alphabet and Morse code. I also built a form with a input box for the alphabetic information and an output box with the Morse Code. What i am trying to do is basically type a word like "Hi" in the input box and produce the Morse Code equivalent in the Morse Code output box. [Code] This works but only one letter at a time. Do i need to Parse the string of characters one at a time, and then run it through a loop like i have created?

I have 8 sentences, such as:
"Hello and we Hope you enjoy our service<100>"
"Good Morning Mr something nice to see you <200>"
"Good Evening Welcome to this domain <300>" etc etc
(The actual requirement is long sentence about 10 or 15 word and 8 different sentences.) I want to check which on is the response from the xmlhttp, I am doing that by searching the response if it contain <100> or <200> or <300> and depends on that I want to display "Login Faild", "Login success", "Server Down" etc.. what I mean, I have a place for 4 words in my listview and i don't want to put the complete response that came from the server, my question is, how to do it? I had tried to use Select Case in this way, it did not worked.
Select Case MyResponse
Case MyResponse.Contain("<100>")
MyResult = "Login Failed"

i would like to split a string not on a char but on the case I have string of the format:
thisIsTheString
I would like to get: this Is The String
PS: i know i could iterate through each char of the string and check for "isUpper" ... but maybe there are more efficient and smarter ways of doing it ?

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.)

What's the best way to handle this situation: I have this generic function
Function FieldValue(Of T)(row As DataRow,fieldName As String) As T
Return If(row.IsNull(fieldName),Nothing,CType(row(fieldName),T))
End Function
In the special case where the field value is null and T is String, I want to return String.Empty instead of Nothing.

If I input "TEST" into the function above. The output is "TEST". Ideally it would output "Test". I also tried the code snippets from this post to no avail: Use of ToTitleCase.
