Apr 14, 2011I'm working on a form in which strings of text are being imported. A lot of these strings contain special characters, like �, �, �, &, �, etc...
When I convert these strings to text, so they can be shown as labels, the special characters either disappear (like the '&' sign) or they are shown as some sort of icons. How can I let VB handle these strings, so the special characters are shown the way they should, without having to change the (many hundreds) original strings of text?

.net - Regex Replacing Non-words Chars In Strings, Ignoring Specific Chars?
Oct 8, 2011In VB.net I've got the following line that removes all non-alphanumeric chars from a string:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W]", "")
I now need to extend this to remove non-alphanumeric chars that aren't [] or _. I've changed the line to:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W[]_]", "")
However I'm pretty sure that this says
replace non-word or [ or ] or _
how do I negate the tests for the [] and _ chars so that it says
replace non-word and not [ and not ] and not _
Some examples:
"[Foo Bar_123456]" => "[FooBar_123456]"
"[Foo Bar_123-456*]" => "[FooBar_123456]"

VS 2010 Reading Chars From A String?
Nov 11, 2011still pretty new to programming in general, but I have most of the basics figured out.I stumbled across this problem today, though. I wanted to try making a simple encoder/decoder. However, I am having trouble getting characters from a string.
I have a list(of char) to separate the individual letters in the message (letterList), and textToConvert is the text that the user types in to be encoded. Here's the section of code my problem exists in:
For i = 0 To textToConvert.Length - 1
letterList(i) = textToConvert.Chars(i)
Next i
Upon running my program, I get an out of range exception for the middle line above. Am I doing something wrong?

My data comes back with 4 places on the end

45.7800
35.9000
The $ sign I have in my code does work
so I have"

$15.5000
and so on.
I don't believe there will ever be a point where the last two are anything other than zeros.

Mar 3, 2011I'm trying to make a hash calculator (For testing now)
I know that MD5 is a 1 way(Meaning that there is no decryption for it, yet)
now I was wondering if SHA-1 is a two way. Also, is there any other hashing method that are 2way?
reason is that I want to convert a long string (Lets say 550 chars) into something lower (From 550chars to something lower then 550chars)
I can use a Key, but every possibility will give me bigger length then the actual string.
