I'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]...
With my code as I have a trouble with the returned strings that I have extracted from my php source to add the strings in my listview.
I'm reading the tags of mystrings1 and mystrings2 for each paragraph from the php source. I got the returned strings which it looks like this:
PHP
<p id='mystrings1'>my strings</p> | <a href="http://xfvasfasfasfasf">Link</a> </td> | <a href="delete.php?id=0">Delete</a> </td> | <span id="mystrings2">Enabled</td>
I want the returned strings to be like this when I reads the tags of mystrings1 and mystrings2 while ignore the other tags.
PHP
<p id='mystrings1'>my strings</p> | <span id="mystrings2">Enabled</td>
Here's the
Public Sub timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
timer1.Enabled = False
timer1.Stop()
[CODE]...
Do you know how I can ignore the other tags when I get the returned strings of mystrings1 and mystrings2?
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.

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 need a control that adds strings, and tags. And I want to sort the strings ascending.

I created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

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 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

preferably simple short code than highly functioning code
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:
TextBox1 = visual basic, java, perl
