I've been working on a small project to sort through multiple text files which have all the same strings. Basically, I am looking to sort through and create a text delimited file for future use. The below script is what I have come up with so far, and have tried several "For Loops" but found that I was lot worse off than working with the "Do"[code]...
View 7 RepliesI'm using this for a single value to search for.
intPositionOfApartment = InStr(StrConv(pStringToParse, vbUpperCase), "APT") Is it possible to search for more then one value such as "APT", "UNIT" ?
If yes please show me an example of how it should be coded.
I have a text file DIC.TXT.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI am trying to write login page code for the login button but can't find how to find a string in a .txt file. The only code I have managed to find on the subject is opening up the text file with the
FileOpen(1, "File location", OpenMode.Output) code, but even this would be best removed as it would open the text file containing all usernames and passwords within the file.I need the system to search for a specific string within a file ( Usernames___Passwords.txt (159bytes)Number of downloads: 134), and with that string find the password associated with it (in my attached example the letters/words after the apostrophe) but stopping at the end of the line.
First it might sound like an ordinary task but keep reading it isn't. I can't figure out how to find a phrase in a text file, and replace it with something else. Tried lots of things but always ending up with empty hands.
Suppose there's a text file in this order:
valueabc=6000.0000
valuettt=200.0000
valuexyz=7000.0000
I want to;
1) Find the phrase (e.g. valueabc) by scanning the whole text,
2) Replace the number that starts after "=" and ends before ".", namely "6000" in the middle with any number value i want.
I don't need the parts before "=" and after ".", only the number in the middle.
I am looking for a control to load text strings into. I want to be able to use different font sizes and perhaps font styles for each text string. I also want to be able to select each text string. I am using a rich text box to obtain the formatting I need but I don't know how to set this up so that I can select each test string independantly. Alternatively I coulg put them into a DataGridView and get rid of the lines but this would look to structured as the cell width is contant for each cell in the DataGridView.
View 3 RepliesAnyone know right off hand a cleaver way to chop up a Text value from a table... Scenerio is this I have one table with a name (Smith, Timmy Alan) in a table text(30) format. I can pull the value to a string in VB but I want to only take the last name for one string and the first for an other string.

View 39 RepliesI've got a lot of text that I'm pulling into a string, potentially.
In the text - I'm embedding "Tags" or "Labels" for certain sections. These tags will be used so that I can pull text out of this one string and then break it down into parts. How would I go about doing something like this? Each "tag" will begin with the tag name in square parenthesis and end with /name in parenthesis.[code]...
I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;
Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)
[Code].....
Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?
I am attempting to make a text editor. I have a folder which contains hundreds of text files. I would like to search through all files simultaneously, for some text then replace the text with other text & save, & overwrite originals. I've got most of the basic structure done, but I've go no idea how to search for text in all files in a folder.
View 13 RepliesThis is my first time posting here although I have been lurking for quite some time. I'm stuck with a problem I have seen before and never solved: I have a long list (~23,000) of alphanumeric strings that I'm reading into a List(of String) from a text file, and then sorting. When I iterate through the list after sorting, it appears to be correctly sorted EXCEPT that the element that was originally at the beginning of the list is now at the end (and it should be somewhere in the middle after the sort)Here is a sample input:
PRE1-PRE2_00015648
PRE1-PRE2_00015649

View 2 RepliesI have an array of strings such as "blue", "green", "red" and I wish to sort them so the longest string comes first and the shortest last.
Currently I am creating another array with the lengths of each string in the array in the same index positions and using this array as the key array to sort by as can be seen below, but I think this could be optimised into one line perhaps?
Dim colours() As string = {"blue", "green", "red"}
Dim colourslength() As Integer
For i As Integer = 0 To colours.Length - 1

Edit: just realised I defined colours as a list in the example code, it's an array in my actual code.
I am trying to open up a text file that contains some text. I have 3 text boxes on my screen. What I need to figure out is how to replace multiple words (1 in each textbox) with text it finds in the txt file.
I can do this by using the single find / replace feature but I'm trying to be able to fill out the 3 textboxes and then click my find / replace button to have my Regex find each predefined word and replace it with what is in the text boxes.
Here is my code to get the find / replace one word at time feature. I've tinkered with this to just add more variables to my Regex but it doesn't seem to work.

Originally i wanted to ask if it's faster to sort Integers than Strings.But i have answered this question myself and i'm suprised of the big difference.Why is sorting and BinarySearch Integers as much faster compared to Strings?
The (VB.Net) Test with 1.000.000 Int32/Strings:
Private Function CheckIntBinarySearch() As TimeSpan
Dim watch As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch()
Dim rnd As New Random(Date.Now.Millisecond)
Dim intCol1 As New List(Of Int32)

Consider having large collections of "String-Integers"("1","2","3",...). Would it even be better to parse them to integers before sorting and searching them? What is the cost of parsing Strings to integers?
I am using VB.NET 2008 My DataGridView is bound to a DataSet. After adding a DataGridView row (from another form), I needed to sort the DataGridView in order to put the new row in the appropriate place. I needed to be able to identify the current sort column and the current sort direction (ascending/descending) but I was unable to find out how to obtain that information from the DataGridView properties. Consequently I had to do it the hard way via my own coding. The sort column name (or names) and the sort direction then became available to my program in the global variables.

I have a string, and I want to search it for multiple strings, which I basically want to use for searching for urls in an HTML file that's been loaded into a string.
so get the value of everything between
href="http:// and the next " and return it (I want to check each one separately and do different things with them, so maybe add them to an array that I can loop through?)
preferably simple short code than highly functioning code
I was working on some code in VB.NET 2008 and somehow got a bunch of new functions to pop up in intellisense on a datarow array. I saw find, findfirst, sort, average, and lots more. They had an icon next to them in intellisense when I saw them. Then I went and changed some of the code and now I can't get them to come back. I have used 2005 and 2003 for a long time, but still pretty new to 2008.

Here's the weird problem I am trying to solve but cannot get my mind around it. In a text box 1, the user enters 2 or more strings separated by comma. then in text box 2, the user enter 1 or more strings separated by comma. The output then puts the strings from text box 2 between the strings in text box 1
Example:

How do you sort strings with numbers when you want numbers sorted based on their dimension?
