Compare Text And Count Differences Based On Characters?
Feb 15, 2009
I have two multiline textboxes, and I want to compare and count the text differences between them. The algorithm appears very complex.. To be exact, I need to check for the spelling mistakes (spaces and newlines can be ignored..)
Well i want to compare 2 strings (version one and version two) and get the differences in a format that i can convert to html on my own, like you can view how a post was edited here on stack*overflow* or like svn tracks differences between revisions....
It must be full managed code library.
Like this JavaScript but i need to do it on the server-side..
I'm trying to create a little program that compares the text from two richtextboxes and displays the differences in text between the two. I.E. one text box contains "i like cheese" and the other contains "i like blue cheese" I want it to display the word blue in a 3 richtextbox. I'm just not sure what the best way to go about it is
I have 2 text boxes and I load a text file in to each box, the files contents are "almost" exactly the same but not 100%. how would i compare the 2 against eachother and output the difference in percentage? I've made a program once before it was pretty cool it did all these things and it was in VB.Net i just cant remember how i did it.. i do know i counted how many of the sames words exist but i cant remember what else i did.
I have a form that needs to create textboxes based off the count of rows in my dataset table. The amount of rows could vary from 10 to 20, so I need a loop to add the textboxes to add the textboxes on load. Right now I have the loop down and other things shown below.[code]...
I have 2 textboxes where the user enters texts of same length. I need to do a char by char comparison. For this, i used Chars(i). Now, i have been trying to highlight the differences at the string index which is different. I am not able to figure a way out for that.
for example:
string1 = HELLO string2 = WELLM
When the user hits Compare button, the code should highlight H and W, and also O and M maybe in the same respective textboxes or 2 different labels etc.
I have a method that takes 2 string arguments. One that contains a normal string and one that contains a string with one or more wildcard characters. I've tried the following code:
Private Function DoesMatchWildcardString(ByVal fullString As String, ByVal wildcardString As String) As Boolean Dim stringParts() As String Dim matches As Boolean = True
[code]....
The I realized that it won't work properly. If I have ABCD as a normal and A*CD as my wildcard string the match will work even if my normal string was CDAB, which is not what I want.
How do i count the number of characters in a text file on vb 2008?I need to report the number of VISIBLE characters only (ignoring spaces, tabs , carriage returns, line feeds, etc)
I'm wondering is there a way to count the characters on a line like .length but with XML in VB. Take a look at my code and you'll probably understand exactly what im doing.Basically the formula is to count words by saying every 5 characters is a word. So I need to get the amount of characters in the line and divide by 5.[code]
I have a fair bit of experience with VB.NET and C# (In this case I chose VB.NET, blame my laziness), but I do most of my professional work using PHP. I have no experience what so ever in using any database with VB.NET let alone MySQL.Just FYI, at the moment I am only trying to Query the database to gather the information required to activate. The Activation wizard and algorithm building (which is finished anyway), and everything else will come soon. I chose the MySQL database because I have experience with it, and it seems the best option for remote usage.The whole idea already works in PHP, I'm just have major issues moving it accross into VB.NET (Using the MySQL Connector.NET);I understand the basics, and all I need to know how to do is Count Rows and gain access to the other information in a row based on provoided information (in PHP, through mysql_ result)
So, here goes nothing, this is the Query code I am using in PHP to complete the job I want to do in VB.NET. [code] As you can see, I basically need to get the PHP code into VB.NET to fit into the 'btnQueryDB.Click' Command in VB.NET. By Equivalent, the Product ID in VB.NET will come from 'txtPID' and similar, Serial Number will come from txtSNUM. Once counted to be 1, the Activation Code and Status will be fed into 2 other text boxes in the form. (acCode, and acStatus).
I have a RTB which I import with a set of 7 or 9 didit numbers, 7 for Staff and 9 for Students. e.g. Staff numbers [code]and depending on what is selected in a list box ('Student' or 'Staff') will generate a string to create user accounts. To further error check I would like to check if a line in the RTB = 7 And Listbox = "Student" Then msgbox("Data mismatch between User ID and Account type")
I want to creat a programm with an interface that can do:
1.Open a text file 2.Choose the file 3.Display the file(in a dialog box for exemple) 4.Count the characters from it and then display the result in a textBox
I made this program but the problem is that the result is not correct.For exemple:my text file has 14 characters and if i run the programm the result from textbox is 84.I don't know what is wrong?!I'm biginner in VB and i what to know how i can fix this error.[code]
Basically, Is it possible to get a grids row count using jquery.if my grid has 20 rows in it not including the header or footer, i want to now the count of actual rows, this will tell my users how many tasks they have in their list.
I have a query I'm using to identify a group of contracts that have expired. The query has a ContractID, Status, Start Date and End Date. For each contract, I need to go to a directory and search for a file to import. That part works just fine, but how can I put a qualifier in to check for contracts that have the same start and end date? Do I need to create a multi-dimensional array for this or can I use the query I have? The part in bold text is where I need to identify identical start/end dates. Comments identify pieces to be developed and message boxes to help me confirm what's happening as I run the code:
Private Sub cmdRefreshList_Click() DoCmd.SetWarnings False
'Create an array based on the true-up contract IDs.
Dim db As Database, TUrst, PYMTrst As Recordset Dim TUContracts() As Variant Dim TUContractID As Variant
I need to seperate a name into 2 parts using split the first part being 2 letters "That was easy" but the last part of the name would have an unknown lenght. so how do I get the unknown length? I believe I understand the Join Part here is what I have but it only works when you know the lenght of the name
Project Notes 'Form has two textboxes and one button 'first text box holds a first and last name ' 1-seperate the first and last name into 2 variables
I've tried searching on this but can't seem to find an answer anywhere, so hopefully someone here can help. I want to insert an conditional XML tag based on whether or not a count is above one, but am not sure how to do it.For example, I have two XElements that are like this:
<Blob> <Group> Stuff 1 </Group> </Blob>
[Code]...
But that is not working. Does anyone have a way to do this from within the XML Literal as desired above?
I have a SQL database which I'm running a query against to return a list of names - eg using "select names from table"I would like to add all of these names to an array so I can use them later. To do this I would need to use a dynamic array as the number of names returned could be anything.Apart from first running "select count(names) from table", getting a value and then Redim'ing the array on the count is there another method I can use.I've seen there's a dataset row.count? Can I somehow use this?
connection.Open() reader = command.ExecuteReader() While reader.Read()
I'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time.Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?
I am trying to figure the best way to programmatically re-size table column headers in ReportViewer.Basically, my current resolution is the following: ColumnWidth = Header Caption_CharacterCount * 0.32...Where 0.32 is an estimated width of a typical character using my current font size.The issue is that the width leaves a lot of whitespace for longer captions.The more characters a caption has, the more whitespace I end up with.The issue with estimating this way is that not all characters are the same width. A good example would the the "I" character, which takes up less screen width than the rest of the alphabet.[code]
I'm trying to figure the best way to verify the contents of a folder based on another count via a listbox. Here is my current code to count the number of PDFs in two different locations and total them together for a grand total.
'counts test1 pdfs Dim f As String, c As Long
[code]....
I have another process before this that will create the PDF's based on the files listed in the listbox.What I am having trouble with is verifying that the PDFs that are created in the Test1 and Test2 folders equal the counts from the listboxes. This count needs to match before running the next process. I'm kind looking for wait or loop until both counts match, again before running the next process.
