How Will Change The Label's Text To The Random String Of The Text File On Startup Of The Application
Apr 23, 2011I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.

Here is my code.[code..]

Code/regular Expression/magic That Can Detect If This Text Contains A Piece Of SQL Query Instead Of Normal Harmless Text?
Sep 21, 2010I came to a company that already has a fully grown project... but coders that worked here before me didn't follow conventions and didn't use parametrized SQL queries... as a result there is over 1000 places in a very huge project that can possibly be vulnerable to SQL injection...
I need to find a solution that will automatically detect if there is an SQL injection in the code. So, for example there is a form which allows user to enter comments regarding a product, which will be sent to database on submit... how can we make sure that a user didn't enter a harmfull query instead of a normal text?
Is there any advanced code/regular expression/magic that can detect if this text contains a piece of SQL query instead of normal harmless text? I will accept any links, pieces of code in any language or even commercial software that will do that for me.

View 4 RepliesDetect For A Specific Character In A String?
Jul 11, 2011so in a program I'm working on in VB.NET I'm trying to make it so I can take in a list of strings (each on a different line). For each line I want to take in the line, and break it up into three parts. The first part goes from the beginning of the string to the first colon in the string, the second part goes from the first colon to the at symbol, and the last part goes from the at symbol to the end of the string.
For example, I'd take in a line of the series of lines: hello:world@yay
I'd want to break it into three separate strings of "hello", "world", and "yay".
How would I do such a thing in VB.NET?

Aug 12, 2011What I basically have is a small game which I want to count wins/loss/ties. I have no problem with the game aspect but need to know how I can replace a string in a csv file. IE: If Jim wins the game, his 5 needs to be turned to a 6. After googling quite a while I came across the replace() function, but it doesn't actually rewrite it back to the text file

The issue I have, is if I try to use any sort of IO function after this (WriteAllLines, streamwriter, etc) - I get a process is being used and can't touch the file (because its being read).Must I somehow create a new file with a copy of everything including the replaced string?
Searching Text File From Certain String?
Feb 1, 2010I've got two text files. The first has got a list of certain keywords. Each one if these keywords are fed into a combobox. Now, when I choose one of the items from this combobox, I want to search the other textfile for the same keyword and read from that point to the next keyword. And then feed each line into a listbox. Perhaps I should use an INI-file for this purpose, doesn't really matter for me.
The textfiles have this structure;
Textfile1:
London
Oslo
New York
Hamburg
Amsterdam
The second textfile has this structure;
Textfile2:
'London'
Apples
Oranges
Pears
'Oslo'
Pasta
Salami
Monkeyballs
'New York'
Dada
Duda
Dadadish
Is this possible? The reason I want to do it this way is to create a fully dynamic system. One which relies fully on whatever information is stored in these textfiles. I'm gonna build pretty complex strings from these results later on. So far, I've got this to read the first file and add each line to the combobox:
Dim oReadMenuFunction as System.IO.StreamReader
oReadMenuFunction = IO.File.OpenText("textfile1.txt")
Do While oReadMenuFunction.Peek <> -1
Dim LineIn as String = oReadMenuFunction.ReadLine()
Combobox.Items.Add(LineIn)
Loop

Detect Chinese Character In A String Program?

Now I want to substring only the Chinese characters. But my code is database driven, so I can't substring it, because the length is always different. So is there a way I can split the string, from the moment I detect a Chinese character?
