Find / Replace Word Puzzle
May 5, 2009
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])?

I try to make a find/replace in a existing word document using vb.net. Here's my code:
[Code]...
When running the code I get a AccessViolationException on the codeline where the Range.Find is called... I use VSTD2008 and Office 2007 on Windows 7. I have also tried running the code on a machine with Office 2003 which was successful. So if anybody could tell me what I have to do differently that I get this working with office 2007 I'd be very glad!

I know this is a very noob question but would it be possible to find a word in my coding and replace it with three lines?
[Code]...
So far I can only replace it with "ex1.Message) Finally Application.exit" but it's going to take me forever to go through my coding to change it. I'm not sure what character I could use to start a new line in between "ex1.Message)" and "Finally" and "Application.exit"

i have a problem in locating bookmarks which are defined inside the table cell. Each table cell in my word document can contain multiple textboxes. I need to fill text in each of these textboxes using word automation. I tried placing bookmarks inside these textboxes for each cell and tried to replace using Word Automation. But unfortunately, i cant locate / replace the bookmark using the following lines:
cell.Range.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookmark).Select(); //this is throwing exception as it couldnt find bookmark in cell.Range.Bookmarks list.cell.Application.Selection.InsertAfter("New Text");

I have a bunch of object variables which are all initialised in their declarations such that:
Private _myObject As New ThisObject("SomeString")
where ThisObject is one of a number of object types, but all are initialised using a string.
I would like to use the Visual Studio Find/Replace dialog box to search for "As New" then replace everything from "As New" to the first set of speech marks with some text such that:
EDIT
My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:
Private _myObjectA As New ThisObjectA("SomeString")
Private _myObjectLongName As New ThisObjectLongName("SomeString")

make a program to replace the word followed by the selected. But I got stuck at the start..An Example:"My name is Dunley Mike and my father, Dunley Robin are on a holiday at the mountain. There they will meet the uncle Dunley Harry." So what I want to do is to loop through the text for the word Dunley (Underlined) and replace the First name (Bolded) (Mike, Robin, & Harry) to 'family'.

I 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 need to replace the whole word from a string.
for example. String= "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
i need to replace only VB as C#.
if i put String.Replace, its changing as "Hi C#Friends,I am learning C# 2010."
i used regex, Word boundary but not worked, below my code.
Dim sHTMLStream As String = "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
Dim oColl As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches("sHTMLStream", "\bvb", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
For Each sTemp As Match In oColl
MessageBox.Show(sTemp.Value)

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]

I'm trying to replace a string with another but the problem is that the string is matching some other string partially.
For e.g. -
Dim x as String = "I am Soham"
x = x.Replace("am","xx")
After this replace I would only like the word am to replaced with xx but because my name also contains am its also getting replaced.

I am puzzled as to why this following code does not replace the word in each arraylist as a reference.
Dim AllMyWords As New ArrayList
AllMyWords.Add("hello")
AllMyWords.Add("how")[code]....
I would have assumed the FOR EACH bla IN BLA works like a reference but it seems like it does not.

IS there a better way to do the following, I mean is there any way to replace the Word variable with a backspace directly instead of trimming the space after the word has been repalced?
For Each Word As String In remove_words
If user_input3.Contains(Word) Then
user_input3 = Regex.Replace(user_input3, Word, "")

How can I replace character/word in text (loaded to richboxtext) but only for those which are not on the "block" list ?
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
But I want add list of words which should be excluded. I thought that I can do something like :
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
If Regex.IsMatch(RichTextBox2.Text, "shows") Then
Else
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("%"c, " "c)
End If
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
Dim str2 As String = RichTextBox3.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str2.Replace("2"c, "B"c)
But it's not working as it will just skip replace of % for whole text and I want just just exclude particular word from list from being replaced...

How would you replace a certain word from input to output? Like, if you type "Tigers are cool" in a text box I want the ouput after a button click to be "Lions are cool", changing 'tiger' to 'lion'. It should also be case sensitive so Tiger would convert to Lion, not lion.

A little background... I'm trying to build a spell checking form. I have this lovely library: [URL] and it seems to be working flawlessly.
The problem I have is trying to replace an entire word and only the first occurence of the word.
Example: Replace the first instance of "foo" with "bar" in the following string
"foo foo foobar" and get this "bar foo foobar"
I've been trying regular expressions with no luck. Here are the patterns I've tried compiling(these are obviously tied to variables in my program):
"(?<!foo)foo"
"(foo){1}"
I also tried the built in string.replace method with a count parameter, but I have no idea how I would make that match the entire word.

The user enters a numerical value in textbox1 and click search. This searches for this value using PackageIO (any other options you guys think would be faster would be great) and will return how many instances of that value have been found. There is a second textbox and button that will only be enabled if 1 instance is found. If more than one instance is found, an error message pops up. I'm not too experienced with PackageIO. Here is what I have so far. The program crashes every single time. I'm positive there is something wrong with either part of it or the whole thing.[code]...
