The problem is to find if a word has 3 consecutive letters in it. Such as THIRSTY, STUDENT. Here's the code I've written, but I'm stuck on how to actually write the code to check the letters.

How to get letters from one word into strings (one letter, one string).
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to produce every possible combination of the letters in a word, however I've been very unsuccessful at figuring this out.
I can't seem to grasp what I need to do to get this working, I've been at it for the last four hours or so.for example, the word "one" would produce: one, oen, eon, eno, noe, neo.
(Write a program that requests a word containing the two letters r and n as input and determines which of the two letters appears first. If the word does not contain both of the letters, the program should so advise the user.)I got the program to work but he said its wrong because we need to have it looping and if one of the letters is missing you also have to say which one is missing.I have some of the pseudo code but I don't know how to make it work.If Index of("R") = 0 or index of ("N") = 0 Find out which is missing and display message.Else Find larger and display message.

View 5 RepliesI am currently using the code below within a VB.Net application to find specific text in a Word document. The text is surrounded by symbols represented by the character codes in the .Text statement. The code below is working fine. The issue now is that sometimes the desired text within a document has been marked for deletion and appears as tracked change within the document. I would like to find only the desired text that has NOT been marked for deletion. Does anyone know of a way to determine if the found text is a deletion?

I have used Webbrowser control in editable mode.I am using IHTMLTxtRange for find a word and replacing it with other word.I have to find and replace internally in my code.Following is my code:-
Public Sub FindReplaceText(ByVal sfindText As String,
ByVal sReplacetext As String)
Try[code].....
It works fine for all find and replace except if the word contains vbnewline.E.g If in webbrowser control I enter 'Hii <vbnewline> Hello'The above two words contain Enter key(i.e vbnewline) between them.If I pass following string to my Method it doesn't recognize the whole word and doesn't replace the word. I have called my method as
FindReplaceAll("Hii"+vbnewline+"Hello","HiiiHelloReplaced", False, False)
Does IHTMLtxtRange support vbnewline in Findtext method?If not how can i do? All the above Find and repace need to be done in code and not by popping up the form for find and replace
I am trying to create a function that searches each line of a richtextbox and returns that row if one of many search phrases are found.The app works wonderfully when used with longer words or muli word phrases as the search criteria.The problem I have is if the search word/ criteria contains a small string such as bae or sp then I get alot of false positives. Anytime bae or sp is found within any word it returns the results.I need the function to stop looking within the words for results and instead look at the word as a whole for a match.Below you can see that I am taking each line of text in the richtextbox, removing most non-alpha numberic characters and replacing them with spaces.Then I have it remove any double spaces with single spaces.For the search term list I have it take the text before the delimiter;and do the same.Trouble I am having is,if the search term is SP and the search phrase is "This is a space shuttle lauch"it will return the sentence since the sentence contains the word "space" which starts with sp.[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to write a function to find a word in a string in the this format : "ThisissometextthatIneedtofindandthisisthetext. This is another text."It's read as " This is some text that I need to find and this is the text. This is another text." but there is no space between each word. I want to get the word "text" or any word in that string. Can you help me with this function with a code sample ?
And I think that this method can be implemented with a string of Unicode also because in a sentence of Unicode it contains one or few, sometimes zero spaces between each word.
I'm keeping track of some things that are numbered and others that are lettered; while NumericUpDown is perfect for selecting numbered things, I need an analogue for selecting lettered things. The obvious choice would be a listbox that just contains all the letters of the alphabet. But I need to show only the appropriate range of letters, so if I want to use a listbox, I need to write a function that populates the listbox with the first n letters of the alphabet; if n > 26, it should continue with aa, ab, and so on. How do I do this?

View 8 RepliesI'm writing a web crawler for a specific site. The application is a VB.Net Windows Forms application that is not using multiple threads - each web request is consecutive. However, after ten successful page retrievals every successive request times out.

This is my first post on here--I've been teaching myself VB via forums like this and MSDN for about 2 years now. I'm programming a computerized economics experiment, and I'm using a communications package that a guy I worked with developed. He and I have been going back and forth trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
The upshot of the communications package is that there's a serializeable MQMessage class that we send back and forth, essentially just a package of an integer (Type), string (Text), and Object (Data). Most of the time, this goes according to plan.
The problem is this: If the client receives two or more messages back-to-back, the client stops raising the MessageArrived event. (and presumably, the same would hold true for the server--I should test this, but jeez-oh-man, I've been running test after test for the last week).It's still connected, as on disconnect it throws the "Socket forcibly closed" exception. When it receives multiple messages sequentially, it's still receiving the data, it just never knows when the first message ends, and the buffer just keeps filling and filling. The problem seems to be that it can never successfully Deserialize the MQMessage object, and so it returns Nothing on the getCompletedMessage function and just keeps adding to the buffer (ABuffer.Length goes 1024, 2048, etc.).
I'm trying to load some data from a MySQL table and sort it so two equal rows doesn't come consecutive. I've been trying to do this on the server-side, but it looks like it's impossible. So I'm wondering if it's possible to load the data into a dataset and sort it there or something like that? I'm open for all solutions, both on the server-side and client-side.

I was using .indexof("myword"), then all of a sudden huge problem and headache... i was using .indexof("produce") and then it kept replacing the word produced cause produce was triggered by the first 7 letters.then i tried to use .contains("produce") and it did the same thing.so basically it doesnt search for the WHOLE word, if a WHOLE WORD begins with the phrase your searching for then it wont work.so how do i search for WHOLE words?

I am working on highlighting a word when entered in a textbox.
Example:
string = "hi this is <b>testing</b>"
When i enter the word "testing" in textbox and click on search then it is highlighting the word "testing". but when i enter "is testing" in textbox and click on search then it is not highlighting the word "is testing". this is due to there is bold tag for "testing".
How can we highlight the word which is in bold tag...
This was a difficult question to google. I have an Order class with a couple of dozen properties such as ClientReference, ShipMethod, etc. I use databinding to bind this class to an Order form. If a user enters an invalid shipping method, an exception is raised in the ShipMethod property and a validation error is displayed to the user. But I'm trying to use the same Order class within an OrderImport class whose job it is to take a flat file and create multiple orders. The problem occurs if I'm assigning to a dozen of the order fields consecutively, and say the first one causes a validation exception. If I have all dozen assignments occuring within a single try-catch block, the next 11 assignments will be skipped and I'll only be able to record one validation error. I could solve the problem by doing a dozen separate try-catch statements, but that doesn't seem very elegant.
View 22 RepliesIs there a way in LINQ to Entities (SQL) to identify all records where a specified word is repeated at least/less than a specified number of times?
I can do this in memory, looking for at least 3 instances of the word "word" using:
Where(Function(x) x.Description.Split("word").Count > 3)
However the Split() function cannot translate to a SQL equivalent, and so this can only be executed in-memory, which is excruciatingly slow by the time any number of records are involved.
The SQL to do this would be something like
WHERE Description LIKE '%word%word%word%'
And that's as far as I get - I can't work out how to get that SQL generated by LINQ to Entities. I tried the ugly hacky .Where(Function(x) x.Description.Contains("word%word%word") on the off chance, but I'm almost relieved that it doesn't work!
Let's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?
