Find And Replace Algorithm?
Sep 9, 2010I have some text files that contain
<img width="100" or
<img width="1400" or....
How could i replace all above with the following, since the image width is not static?
<img width="200"

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")

What I want it to do is, as I'm typing the word, that it highlights it on the board using the button(x,y).doclick sub which highlights it. Right now my implementation finds the first letter, then keeps trying each letter until it meets the 8 corner condition (ie it is neighbored to the last one) but this does not always work. If there are say 2 "G"'s on the board and I want the bottom one, this will not work. Can somebody give me an example of psuedocode
View 1 RepliesHas anyone ever used VB to analyze data to find patterns? I would like to analyze several hundred sequential data points to look for a fairly uniform "up-down" pattern, very similar to a square wave.
View 3 RepliesI need to write a code to find identical adjacent pixels in a bitmap image. It should work as the 'magical wand' in Photoshop.My images are always black and white (white background with car parts drawed in black). Given the x,y coordinate for a single black pixel in the whole image, the code should find (and paint with another color, say red) all other black pixels that are linked to that one, and so on, until all linked black points will be painted in red.This way, suppose that I have an image with 4 car parts drawed, then if I give the x,y coordinate of a black pixel, just THAT part to whose the black pixel belongs to should be painted in red. All other parts will remain black. Does it make sense?At the end, there are two pictures (before and after) to help understanding what I need to do to the images.I tried a simple 8-pixel adjacent approach for every pixel (starting on initial coordinate) but it turns out into a very stupid and endless looping algorhitm.

I want to find a way to speed up this code.if you look at the condition of If calculated Then in the code below, this is what slowing down the code.While the code provided seem fast with Const initBit = 4 try it with something over 12.
I want to be able to use this code (with calculated param as True) with initBit of 20 or more.
Beware that 20 or more might require a gig or more of ram and/or compiled as x64.

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]...
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to do a 'find/replace' sort of thing, but for some reason the Replace function isn't working. It says it cannot be indexed because it has no default property. How do I do the replace correctly?ere's my
Dim aString As String
aString = Replace(DirectCast(Form1.SplitContainer1.ActiveControl, RichTextBox).Text, Me.TextBox1.Text, Me.TextBox2.Text)
I need it to act as a "find next"...meaning that
1. When I click the find button,
2. In the main form, it should find the text
3. And when I click it again
4. It should find the same text again ..if it's in the main form
How to write the loop. This is what I have so far:
Private Sub xFindButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xFindButton.Click
Dim startPos As Integer
startPos = xTxtSourceTextBox.Text.IndexOf(Me.xFindTextBox.Text) ', type)
If startPos = 0 Then
Me.xTxtSourceTextBox.Focus()

View 1 RepliesIn VS 2008 Pro, my Find and Replace function just went belly up. I mean dead. I have a document open, I click Edit -> Quick Find or Quick Replace, and the Visual Studio window flashes (the control bar at the top goes gray as if the IDE was deselected) but the Find/Replace window never appears.
I've poked at my settings, disabled the addin I've been working on, and looked all over the various toolstrips in Visual Studio - no sign whatsoever of the Find/Replace Window.

View 13 RepliesI have the following code which I am using to track a series of key presses as a string. When I enter the string up until the last charachter all is good.The idea is that I have my string ('--START). When I type this in any program, it will automatically be replaced with my specified string. The problem is it always leaves the last charachter.
Typing '--START Leaves me with [my replaced string]T
Typing '--END Leaves me with [my replaced string]D.

I need to develop a small application which can do a batch find and replace on all xml files within a folder. Example:
<cardHolderName>

I want to replace ALL <firstName) tags to John and all <lastName> tags to Smith to protect sensitive date. In addition, there will be other tags such as address, ss number and phoneNumber.
NOTE: There may be multiple instances of <firstName> within the file. 1000 xml files with all replacing names, address etc. with the same fixed name such as John Smith These will be used for testing and to prevent sensitive data from being leaked
There is no doubt that I can do this the long and dirty way. (I am working on).

View 1 RepliesLet'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])?
