How can I count the length of a string and also how many special characters are in the strings.
For instance if I have this string: $how*
How can I count that string is 5 chars long and that there are 2 special characters in the string. (special characters are the $ and
I think that I am going to have to use the .length method to count the length of the string.
this is not working?

If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.
Ok, so I have a string called item. It's value is "Coffe`". When I try to get the number of caractors by using:
textcount = item.length
However it returns with the value "5". even though there is 6 caracters.
I'm an inexperienced programmer,I want to count the number of line's in a string.In "hulp" are several line's, all ending with "vbCrlf".I have tryed If hulp.Substring(i, 1) = vbCrLf Then .... but that doesn't seem to work.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to write a very basic console application which simply counts the number of times a word appears in a sentence. This sentence is input by the user, as is the word to look for.(I also need this search to ignore the full stop and case, but I'll try and do that myself)For example:
Sentence: "This is the last time that I'll say this."
Look for word: "this"
Expected output "2" (as "this" appears twice in the sentence)
I have written some basic code below, however, the output is a boolean value rather than a count of all the times the word has been used.I have a very limited knowledge of VB, so the solution is probably going to be long winded and simplisitic. I am a mature student at university, hence the reason I am writing these odd looking applications.

I'm writing some code that takes a report from the mainframe and converts it to a spreadsheet. They can't edit the code on the MF to give me a delimited file, so I'm stuck dealing with it as fixed width. It's working okay now, but I need to get it more stable before I release it for testing. My problem is that in any given line of data, say it could have three columns of numbers, each five chars wide at positions 10, 16, and 22. If on this one particular row, there's no data for the last two cols, it won't be padded with spaces; rather, the length of the string will be only 14. So, I can't just blindly have

I have got a streamreader reading from a .doc file into a listbox and then i want to set the string length of how long it to be and then if longer to go to the next line so it will fit in the listbox as the listbox you cant scroll accross but you can up and down.

I have the below code that if there is no .wav file in the current directory then it goes to the default windowsmedia directory to play a random .wav file.
But for some reason if there is no file in the current folder it will not go to the windowsmedia folder, do I have something wrong?

I've created some classes that will be used to provide data to stored procedures in my database. The varchar parameters in the stored procs have length specifications (e.g. varchar(6) and I'd like to validate the length of all string properties before passing them on to the stored procedures.
Is there a simple, declarative way to do this?
I have two conceptual ideas so far:
Attributes
public class MyDataClass
{
[MaxStringLength = 50]

This seems like a lot of work and will really make my currently-simple classes look pretty ugly, but I suppose it will get the job done. It will also take a lot of copying and pasting to get this right.
I am working on a program that will take in a string of length 7 containing either R,G or B for the colours. The program will then check that the string if 7 in length and if it contains any other characters than R, G or B then it will be invalid. I created this code but when I enter the right string length and characters it always gives me the error for not having the right string length.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to determine the length of a string in pixels.
I created a little test program for myself and placed three labels on it, each with the same font in a different size. I set the width of the label to 1024, the screenwidth. I used the same test text for each label, cutting it off at the last character that shows, so there is not hidden text running off the label to be included in the string width count.
What I have found is that the width of the string is being reported as wider than the label, even though, as I just mentioned, there are no characters running off the edge of the label. So, something's awry. Does anyone know how to get an accurate width?
Here follows the whole test code. You can drop three labels on a form and run it to see what I mean.

Option Strict On

I have a program with 136 textboxes.
I want to be able to take a string that is entered into a textbox, and then put character 1 of the string in Textbox1, char 2 in TB2, char 3 in TB3, etc.
Also, how do I check the length of a string, like strlen in PHP?
Im working a lot with normal strings and during my development process strings with lengts of 10.000+ characters are being processes which makes it a my application run slower.Is it possible to shorten the length of any of string, in a way in which it also can be reversed?

I just wish to resize a dynamic textbox to the string length of the text
In VB6 if you do this,
keyStr = Left$(baseKey + encPassword, 56)
the string will be 56 characters even if it means appending whitespaces to the end.
in VB.NET
keyStr = Left$(baseKey + encPassword, 56)
will not necessarily be 56 characters. How can I force it to append whitespaces at the end if the baseKey + encPassword is less than 56 characters long?
