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
View 5 RepliesWell, I have a MenuStrip1 with submenu "Open File1" and "Open File2".
An OpenFileDialog1, two RichTextboxes and a button called "Check".
When I open txt files into RichTextboxes, by clicking the check button i want it to compare the two contents and focus the differents with a color (let's say yellow).
I have created a simple project and at the end it only says with a MessageBox if files are the same or different.
Here is my
HTML
code:
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 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..)
View 6 RepliesI have two rich text boxes.I have to compare both the text boxes and highlight it, if any difference is there.Which is similar like compare and merge option in msword.How can i do it in vb.net(vs2005)?
View 2 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI 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 started with not knowing anything and I have built 2 programs over the last month and a half and have learned valuable information from the help of this board. I have 1 last hurdle before I am done and I am hoping to get another tip for this. First of all let me start by explaining what I have done.

I'm working on a project in vb.net 2010 that has 3 RichTextBoxes. Two of the RichTextBoxes can be loaded with text from text files. How do I take the multiple lines of text from each RichTextBox and combine them into the 3rd RichTextBox.
For example, if 2 of the RichTextBoxes contain the following lines of text:
(RichTextBox1)
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
(RichTextBox2)
Jan
Feb
Mar
I want the 3rd RichTextBox to show following result:
(RichTextBox3)
MondayJan
TuesdayFeb
WednesdayMar
I'm trying to select text with the intension that the text is highlighted. I've tryed using the following:

i am using visual basic 2010 and i want to open and save multiple richtextboxes text into one
file.
for ex
richtextbox1.text="Deepak"
richtextbox2.text="My Name"
but i want to save these informations in one file.
I have two textbox in my application.
Textbox1.Text="19-Jan-2010"
Textbox2.Text="Jan 2010"
May I know how can I compare that Textbox1 and Textbox2 text is within same month and same year?
I would like to compare two multiline textboxes, and display the diffeences of the second one based on the first. Just spelling check is required..
View 2 RepliesI have a form with a Textbox, RichTextBox, and a CopyToolStripButton.When I select text in the TextBox control, I can right click the mouse to get a menubox (cut, copy, paste, delete, select all) but when I select text in the RichTextBox and right click the mouse I do not get a menubox.Is this simply a difference in the controls, or do I need to enable a property on the RichTextBox to get this functionality?
This difference between Textbox and RichTextBox is evident even without the CopyToolStripButton code, so I am guessing it might have something to do with inherent or default properties of the controls themselves.At any rate,I would like to get this funcionality for the RichTextBox control as well.
I want to compare my last transaction date / time which display in a label which I get from the data base to the system date / time and if there is a deference of 5 minutes then I get a massage.The code that I ve got check that the last transaction date is smaller but I dont know how to set it so that it only check for 5 minutes.This is what I ve got but its not doing what I expected.

It's been a long time and I'm very rusty on my VB.
I did something like this years ago and now I'm stumped.
My application flows like this-
-From my form, I have a text box.
-I scan a serial number into the text box
-The application compares the scanned serial number against a base-line serial number
-Depending on if the serial number is greater, less or equal, a windows messege box is displayed.
I can get the messeage box to work just fine, it's just the line of code that does all the comparision I'm struggling with.
- Serial number to baseline is something like SY1420000134 (all the same charater length and always starts with a SY)
I've been searching for about two hours now and can't find any thread to jog my memory.
Im trying to get a text box the compare its self to more than 1 other ive tried to do it like this :
If TextBox7.Text = TextBox1.Text Or TextBox2.Text Or TextBox3.Text Or TextBox4 Or TextBox5.Text Or TextBox6.Text Then
I have a vb.net program in which i must compare three text files(two against one) and verify that they are all same. Even if there is one change i must know where the change is, which text file and which line. The format of the text file is like this
[Code]...
Basically i have 12-16 text boxes, with certain values in them.
i think i need a nested loop one to take first box and go through the rest to compare them and then a second loop withint that to do the actual comparison.
I want to use a validator to compare 2 text box in such a way that ,
If V is in Text box 1, means User must type any of the numbers prefix V in Textbox 2 (V00001 to V00050).Other than V ,if they type any other Letters means error message must be shown.
Just like that if C is in TextBox 1 means user must type C00001 in TextBox2.(or any number from C00001 TO C00050) iF S is in textbox 1 means,User must Type S00001(S00001 TO S00050)
I've been tasked with writing an app that reads in various text files(.csv, .txt) in different formats with different delimiters.I then need to compare certain data in these files and report the differences.There are a couple of columns that are common between the files, but they aren't in the same place, and there is inconsistent and unnecessary header info.There is extra data(columns) in these files that I don't need.Should I parse these files into a datatable? Should I create an object for each file type to format the data and get rid of the unnecessary info?I'm not sure about the best way to tackle this problem.
View 1 RepliesI have been tasked with creating an app that will read in various text files(.csv, .txt) and compare some of the data contained within.
I thought I would read in the files and convert them to datatables. Once I had them in a datatable I figured I could remove the unnecessary rows/columns and then sort and compare the pertinent info for differences. The difficulty is that the various files are formatted differently so I will need to get each type formatted correctly. Is this the best approach?
I have read in a .csv, parsed it into a datatable, but I'm having trouble with the logic/coding to get rid of the rows and columns that I don't need. Also, I'm not sure how to handle a row that has a cell with a comma seperated list of values that will need to be split into individual rows.
I have two text files which contains are like this[code]..
When the original files find the same values in drill file than it must overwrite the original file the line from drill file. Let say original file contain T230 than it must serch for same value in drill file if it find than it must overwrite the original file line with drill file line. The content of drill file is not fix. It will allways be update according to need.
is that posible to connect two text file?
Is there a way to compare values in text boxes?
For example, if I have two text boxes, I want to compare the numbers in each to see which is higher and then commit actions if one if higher.
i want a code for compare between 2 text files A.txt and B.txt all record in file B.txt includes in file A.txt but with different value.the digits with color red are accounts and the digits with color blue are values.i want to compare between A.txt and B.txt based on accounts,when find the accounts from B.txt in A.txt copy the full record for these accounts from A.txt and print it in new file C.txt

I want to create my special full-text index using text files, without database.I saved records ids for every word in index, in text file..Now if I want to search for tow words together; I have to get ids that is shared between these words by comparing text files of these words ids; and saving the result in other text file.[code]But now the problem if the first word has 100,000 ids and also the second word same it; the loop will take too long time! It will loop 100,000 * 100,000 times!How can I find another way to compare these files quickly; or another idea for my full-text index with text files?
View 4 RepliesI'm reading a text doc from my hard drive. I'm reading it via a stream reader.
On a button click i'm reading it again, because the contence of the text doc may have been updated, what I want to do is show in one textbox the actual file and in another one just what is new. How can I compare them?
i was just wondering if there was a way that i could compare data stored in a text file such as usernames and passwords with data input into text boxes in visual studio vb2008?
