Find The First Occurrence Of A Certain Word's Position In A Textbo?
Nov 15, 2011
I need to find the first occurrence of a certain word's position in a textbox, on how to do this? Once I find out how I can get the position of the word i am searching for I can then pull the data I need from the textbox. I am using visual studio 2010 / visual basic.Since I have no clue where to start on this code, I will post what code i will be using to get rid of the data i don't need from the textbox.
Dim s As String = TextBox1.Text TextBox1.Text = (TextBox1.Text.Remove(450))i figure I can do this in a few steps to bring the searched info out of the textbox. I am open to other ideas on how to gather my data from the file or textbox. Here is what I have to do: Pull all of the players names from a replay file and put them in separate text boxes or even a listbox.

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.

My app is a Reader for personal use. I have it setup By Books of the Bible and by Chapters and verses.
What I would like to be able to do, is to search for Pharaoh (any word) in a textbox, click the Search Button, and every occurrence of Pharaoh (not just the word, but the entire Verse: EX: Gen Ch7:14 Blah Blah Blah Pharaoh Blah Blah. Gen Ch9 :3 Blah Pharaoh Blah); to display inside a RTF or TextBox.

I have a rich text box with the following text in it:
word word
I am finding the endings of the word, that is, the string "rd". The following code finds the first occurance, but then fails to find the last occurance, and the variable "indexToText " changes to -1.After the first search, the debugger shows the startLocation at character position 4, so it is not past the second occurance but still will not find it.
indexToText = FrmMain.RichTextBoxPrintCtrl1.Find(searchValue, _
startLocation, eof, RichTextBoxFinds.None)
If I change the text to:
word word word
It then finds the first two occurrences and fails to find the last occurrence.No matter how many words I add, it always fails to find the last occurrence.

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 have a string
Example: Dim strList as String = "one;two;four;three;five;six;"
I want a function which will take in two values. a word, and a direction
Example: "three;" , "left"
I need to move move the given word "three;" further to the left until it finds the next occurance of ';'
Example: place the value "three;" just before the value "four;"
Result: "one;two;three;four;five;six;"
I will also need to move it to the right, assuming a direction of "right" is sent into my function. But I can figure that part out once I get the other concept working.

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 am trying to develop a HANGMAN game and i need to implement a button where the user can click on it to "buy" letters. So, i designated 2 text boxes (one visible containing stars and another one not visible containing the word that should be guessed), and i wrote the following piece of code so that once the user presses the button any of the stars will turn to the correct letter. My question is, i found the index of "*" and removed it, and now i want to insert the corresponding char with this index (WordInLetters). How can i find what char is at index "index" in vb.net?
Private Sub picBuyLetters_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles picBuyLetters.Click
Dim index As Integer = txtWordinStars.Text.IndexOf("*")

I wanted to create a module / tool similar to MS word where user should be able to add controls, resize controls, drag and drop controls.Anyway, I have got lot of references on how to resize control, drag and drop add control etc...my main requirement is i need a way to add grid and should be able to add cells to it. When i resize the grid control, the cell height & width should get extended and compressed accordingly. Also i need to save position of the controls to a text file.Saving positon of other controls is easy but most importantly i need to save each cell position of the grid.

I'm looking for the actual index position in a given source string.I have the following string
"<a>
<b>zyx</b>
<b>wvu</b>
[code]....
I'm loading that string into a .NET XmlDocument object. Carriage Returns and Line Fees may be a factor here.
Dim xmlSearchText As New XmlDocument()
xmlSearchText.LoadXml(SearchTextBox.Text)
Dim selectedNode As XmlNode = xmlSearchText.SelectSingleNode(txtSearch.Text)
The following XPath Statement could be used to find the 3rd node:
a/b[.='tsr']
However, I need it to return a string index of 23 rather than the ordinal position of 3.

I'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.

even Word Pad, when you scroll your Caret (the I-beam for browsing through text) through the text, in the font combobox, the font of the text you are browsing through will be displayed, and when you scroll your caret through a different font, the font will be changed. If you're confused, look at attatched picture.
I cannot seem to find a caret position changed event on the normal richtextbox control - and if anyone can show me a custom component with this it would help me a huge amount.So my basic question is how can i replicate the formentioned function in my own VB.NET program.No code is necessary just constructive suggestions, or links to other projects would be welcome. You don't need to quote the forum rules

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?
