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]
View 3 RepliesI 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 am able to display the total of lines in a label, but also want to show the line numbers in a richtextbox, but the problem is that it adds the number to the current, it needs to add the number on a new line.

I'm back again as I'm waiting for the coffee to kick in and have another question that seems to be not causing my brain cells to fire correctly.
I've set the following code to determine the line numbers of all rows returned from the procedure loop.
linenum = 0
Do While (rsData.Read())
linenum = linenum + 1
loop
Now I'm trying to code a button that will move users to different sections depending on the linenumber returned.
So if there's only one linenum with a value of 1, they get a button to 'Apply'.
If the total linenum values are greater than 1, they get a button to 'select apply date'.
Now again I'm having a brain fart and can't think of the logic if theres a linenum of 1+ how to determine the button should be displayed. It needs to include the value of 1 as well as there are more than one linenums so the button should display the 'select apply button'.
I need help with my app. My app is retrieving data from the webBrowser and putting them into individual lines in the richtextbox. My problem is, if the retrieved string is too long then it takes more than 1 line in a richtextbox.

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.

I am reading a text file with mostly alpha characters. the content is not really relevant but the size of each line is very important. The process I will feed this text to will require each line be no more than 50 characters. So I will pre-process the text and add line feeds to make sure that happens.I tried several VB.NET regex like ^.*$ but that doesn't really break up the lines by 50 characters. I would take the result and iterate through each match and then cut it up and write it to an object in memory. Can this be done with a single regex pass?Otherwise I will use a streamreader and on each line check the length and if <=50 write it out with a streamwriter. if >50 cut it up in sections of 50 and then use streamwriter.

I have a listbox where each line contains a short 3-4 character model number followed by a tab and then the product name the model number corresponds to. I also have a textbox which I am using to search the listbox.
The code I am using so far works somewhat, just not exactly how I would like. If I enter search text it will highlight the results in the listbox but only for the first characters, is there anyway to search the text of an entire line (index) of a listbox?
Right now I am using the following:
Private Sub txtSearch_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtSearch.TextChanged
ListBox.SelectedIndex = ListBox.FindString(txtSearch.Text)
End Sub
i have form1 with combobox1 and rtb1 i would like to search the rtb1 for combobox1 selected value and return the first 9 characters from the line with the result.
COMBOBOX1
ADRIATIC
AMERICA
APAC-ANZ

so if combobox1 selected.value = "BALTIC" then i would like "1209-4756" to become a named string (eg, cda = 1209-4756)
I need a code to count how many commas there are in a richtextbox line. If there are 4 or more comma's then do something, else delete line.Im not sure if regex is required for this.
