Aug 20, 2009I need my code to be able to choose 5 random files from a folder. I was hoping I could instantiate the Scripting.FileSystemObject then grab the target folder as an object and do something like FolderObject.Files(12).Name but apparently that's not doable. What I did works, but is sloooow:
FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Quotes In Quotes Creates Error That Stops The Making Of A Desktop Shortcut?
Dec 27, 2011This should create a desktop shortcut but instead it spits out an error that is because of the quotes inside quotes. They need to be there, I know this is the problem as I have tried without them and it has worked. Another problem though is that it creates the shortcut (when Idon'thave quotes in quotes) but wraps the whole TargetPath in quotes making the shortcut unusable. Here is my code:
Dim input As String
Dim s As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("UserProfile")
input = TextBox1.Text

VS 2010 Randomizing - Program Randomly Choose Questions - NEVER Choose Same Question In Same Program
Dec 20, 2011I am currently working on a family project which is based on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" show. There is a huge diffrence between the show and my project. My project is a christmas edition and the goal is not to get money or something, since I will not add it... Erhmm... Let me get to the point. I have already designed a layout and scripted some things. I have about thirty questions but I do not want them to always spawn in the same array, if you know what I mean. I want the program to randomly choose one of those thirty questions and NEVER choose the same question in the same program run. By the way, there are four options on my project: A, B, C and D. I have got everything, I just need a code.
View 3 RepliesCreating A New Random Generator Each Time Should Reduce The Number Of Random Repetitions?
May 26, 2011I've read numerous posts and threads about random number generation, but I havent' run across this.If I generate a bunch of random numbers, the results are radically different if I create a new Random generator for each number than if I use on Random generator for all the numbers. The results are much more consistent and evenly distributed if I use the same Random generator.I would have thought the opposite,because creating a new Random generator each time should reduce the number of random repetitions, if a different time slice is used to create the random number.[code]......

Interpretation Of Double Quotes Using Of Then
Jun 3, 2010Suppose I have a text string like this..
<The dog needs to go out "">
In the event the string ends with "">, I would like to isolate it. The end goal is to only write out text that looks like this:
<The dog needs to go out "now">, where a value exists between the quotes.
Here's my code:
If chk = "" Then
I've tried nesting chr(34)'s around it and all kinds of other things. I just cannot seem to interpret the quotes. Basically, I am appending an XML file from a database.
Code:
Private Sub AppendFile(ByVal textFileDirectory As String, ByVal textFileFile As String, ByVal textStringToPass As String)
Debug.WriteLine("textStringToPass: " & textStringToPass)
' If the last two characters of the string are "" then skip

VS 02/03 Comparing Strings That Contain Quotes?
Aug 18, 2011I'm trying to compare the selected item in a combo box to the items in a collection in search of a match. There is guaranteed to be a match because the combo box was originally populated from the same collection. This is the code I'm using:
[Code]....
This code works for other collections but not for this one. In this case, the loop stops after the first iteration, regardless of what's selected in the combo box. I have confirmed that the collection contains the correct data and that there is a match for the combo box options. The only difference between this instance and other instances is that the values in the collection and in the combo box contain a double quote at the end. I suspect this is what's causing the error. (To be clear, there is no error message, it's simply not returning the correct value.) I've tried various string compare methods but none of them have fixed the problem.
