View 1 RepliesI'm making an application, that makes any file you choose to run at Windows startup.I add the value "HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun" with a button and all is perfect, I reboot the pc and the file runs properly. But the problem is, in the application I also include a button to delete this value, but the test button tells me that there is no value. I use
"Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteValue(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)". Also I try
"Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun " + ComboBox1.SelectedItem) but what it does is try to delete a value with that name, and don't go to that key and delete the value.

IN vb.net I want to replace (or just delete) the " char. The problem is that i can't. Here is the example
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace (""", "")
i made this Reg key with this code.
Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareapp", "Sample", "001010101")
I'm trying to delete the Name of the Key and the value only with this
My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteValue("Softwareapp")
But i think this will delete the folder and not only one key Do you know a code that would only delete
"HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareapp", "Sample", "001010101")
How can i delete a value in the registry? I have tried with this code i found:

I have a project where you type something then it looks through a text file for what you typed. I would then like to make a way to edit the text file once I find what I'm looking for. So, how do you delete text from a .txt file that you are searching through? Also, how do you re-write in that place you just deleted the text from?

View 1 RepliesThe file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:

I am trying to think of a regex replace to replace double quotes with nothing. Example:
hello("hi there") would become hello(hi there)
"hi" would become hi
"example "3" would become example "3
-edit Maybe an easier way to explain this is, replace all " that do not have a backslash before them.
I am trying to filter out all unwanted characters from a string. All I want in the string is letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 as well as comma (,) plus (+) and quotes (").I figured how to do the letters and numbers, but the 3 special characters are giving me a problem. I also tried with the Chr(34) equivelant for the " sign, but no luck, as and " or , messes up the way the code is read. Here�s what I have so far, but it only works for A-Z and 0-9:
STR = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(STR, "[^A-Z, 0-9, Chr(43) ]", "")
How can I specify in my string that I want to replace occurrences of ALL characters and replace them with a specified character? Something like this:
'assuming currentWord is a string that contains any word
_myWord = CurrentWord.Replace("a-z,A-Z", "*")
I am using replace function to replace a character in the file
sw.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(strLine, "\", Chr(13)))
This code is working fine, but now I want to replace two times and I want to use the replace function twice. Something like this, but it is not working . Can anyone tell me how to use Replace function multiple times?
sw.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(strLine, "\", Chr(13)).Replace(strLine, Chr(13), ""))
Error is coming Registry Access is not allowed.While Opening a Key.

Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.
