I am trying to do a SQL query that checks for the presence or absence of a character's occurance in a field / column as a condition to retrieve the row. In this case I only need to test for existance of the specified character and in a similar query to test for the non existence. Not where it is or how many, just is it there or is it notI am using VB express.net 2008 and it uses, I think, MS SQL Server 2008.Using VB's instr() I can tell straight away if a string does or doesn't contain a character, but I would like to know this before I retrieve the row.
using the
WHERE .... and [mytable.myfield] LIKE 'Q'
or
WHERE .... and [mytable.myfield] NOT LIKE 'Q'
produces a result, but not a correct result. It does something but I can not say that it is working even part way.CHARINDEX gets an undefined function error MATCHES also gets an undefined function error?CONTAINS looks like it should work but I am still getting sytax errors with it, so I don't know how to use that predicate yet.
I am having the following string builder as msrtResult, which is quite long:
mstrResult.Append(rtbResult.Text).Append("})})" + Environment.NewLine)
How can I remove the last "," from mstrResult Now? (it is in the middle of that mstrResult and it is not the last character of the whole string since I am appending strings to it)I should do it before adding the newline.
I am making a program that loads files into a ListBox, loops through each one, and if the last line of the file begins with "@", it removes that last line.Now, I am not really sure how to do this.Would I use LineReader?How would I check the first character?

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.

I have a string that has three spaces in it.
In the following examples, underscores represent the spaces:
Quote:
_x-xx-xxxx_x.xx.xx_xx
I need to remove just the first space. Now, i tried just replacing the space with nothing, like so:
VB.NET
If s.Contains(" ") Thens = s.Replace(" ", "")End If
But, that removes every space. I also tried .StartsWith, but it still removed every space. I didn't actually expect that to work, but if I hadn't tried it, I wouldn't have actually know.
how to remove just that first space?
When I try to remove the last few characters of a string, I get an index out of range error. I am using the following to remove the characters from the end of the string:

program makes strings from webbrowser documenttext.For example
String1 = "<span class""long-title"" title"" Informations here"
Im trying to remove all text before "Informations here" this is what i currently have.
dim mychar as char () = {"<"c, "s"c, "p"c, "a"c, '....thatandlike20moretill.... "e"c, """"c}
string1 = string1.TrimStart(mychar)
(Note that each letter or symbol inbetween the quotations is a part of the string (span = "s" "p"...)Now this works. Not all the time though and its a pain in the .. having to do "letter"c, all the time.. (I got over 10 strings lol) Im wondering if theres a way easier method to remove part of string from the beginning, maybe like still a certen part of the length..
I wrote a palindrome earlier for a project which I figured out but I talked to a friend in another class and he was having issues with how to take out the punctuation.

I have a string like
FVAL(XXX)="TRUE" AND FVAL(TT)="FALSE"
I want to replace all "TRUE" and "FALSE" by TRUE AND FALSE.
Now the resultant string should be

Will the code shown below be upto the mark for this.
Regex.Replace("FVAL(XXX)=""TRUE"" AND FVAL(TT)=""FALSE""", "[""]TRUE[""]", "TRUE", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
So im trying to do a simple system in my VB Express Edition 2008 and what it does is add some car models (example) to a list box and stores it in a .txt file for future use. But when the user clicks a delete button it should delete from both the listbox and the .txt. I have to use only the FileOpen(OpenMode.Append or OpenMode.Input/Output) functions.
