Finding The First Empty Value On An Array?
Aug 21, 2011
find the first empty value on an array?Say I have a directory and will occasionally be adding and removing items from an array to represent this. How would I go about making a loop until the entry is empty. I've tried various things like if null and that sort of thing but none of them seem to work- the problem is I guess that this array value is empty and the system can't deal with it without throwing an error message.Creating an array of a set size from the start isn't an option as I've no idea how big the directory will ultimately be.

i have a string array that i want to output to a text file. the array size is 10000. i fill the array starting from 0 with some strings. at the end, i only want to show the array from index 256 to the last array that is not empty (for eg. if the array is filled with data from 0 to 2000, i only want the text file to show the data from 256 to 2000 and ignore the remaining strings). Is there any function to do this?t i use is shown below
Dim myArray(10000) as string
Dim strArray As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:List.txt")
strArray.WriteLine("{0,10}{1,30}", "Index", "Symbol")

I have some code that generates 15 random numbers between 1 and 100 and prints the 15 numbers in a listbox. I want to be able to find the max and min numbers in that list. How would I go about finding those values? I'm new to VB so a solution involving basic string/array manipulation would be preferred.

I have an 2 dimensional array that is full of 1s and 0s such as
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

I'm working on a program to delete files from a certain folder after they have aged a certain amount of time and either match via regex or extension. I'm running into an issue where files() could be:
files(0) = Nothing
files(1) = Nothing
files(2) = Nothing
etc....
Right now the way it is written, I could place
Else
log(1) = data(1)
log(3) = "Array field empty"
InsertLog(log)
And the program would log as many files as file(i) = Nothing holds. This would create redundant database records and is not wanted. Is there a way to figure out if ALL files(i) = Nothing and then place code in there to insert into the database?
'If log(3) is successful that means no files were old enough or deleted successfully
If log(3) = "Success" And IsArray(files) Then
For Each file In files
If Not file.IsNullOrEmpty(file) Then
'If files is actually something insert into the log
log(1) = file

On a button click I need to test whether or not an array has been filled, if it has the user gets linked to a new form otherwise they receive a message box telling them to first assign values to the array.
I've tried 'If MyArray Is Nothing Then....' and 'If MyArray.Length < 1 Then...' but neither seemed to have worked.

Lets say I declare a public array for a structure, and initially I give it 99 indexes (well 100 with base 0), how would I get the first empty index? I thought of doing it like this but a structure array cannot be nothing:
Dim index As Integer
Dim RecipeItem As New RecipeItem
RecipeItem.name = InventoryList.SelectedIndex
RecipeItem.amount = AddItemAmount.Value
For index = 0 To _recipe_item.GetUpperBound(0)

What is the best way to take an array in VB.NET which can either be Nothing or initialised and give it a length of zero?The three options I can think of are:
ReDim oBytes(-1)
oBytes = New Byte(-1) {}
oBytes = New Byte() {}
The first example is what most of the developers in my company (we used to do VB 6) have always used.

Say I have an array of doubles sorted from smallest to largest. What is the FASTEST way to find the closest value in the array that is LARGER/SMALLER than the search value if an identical value is not found.
Code:
dim myArray() as double = {1.245, 2.45, 3, 4.556, 5.4434}
'LARGER AND SMALLER SEARCH for 3 should obviously return 3 because its in the array.
'LARGER SEARCH for 2.46 should return 3 because it is the closest LARGER value
'SMALLER SEARCH for 2.46 should return 2.45 because it is the closest SMALLER value
I certainly can do this on my own, but I am looking for the fastest way.

I have a database which need to be assigned into array arr()(), e.g.
arr(0)(0) = aa arr(1)(0) = ab arr(2)(0) = aa
arr(0)(1) = bb arr(1)(1) = ba arr(2)(1) = ba
arr(0)(2) = cc arr(1)(2) = cc arr(2)(2) = cc
I need to find distinct / unique value in each arr(k)(0), arr(k)(1), arr(k)(2); where k=0..2. Then i need to insert the result into array cat as follows:
cat(0)(0) = {aa} cat(0)(1) = {ab}
cat(1)(0) = {bb} cat(1)(1) = {ba}
cat(2)(0) = {cc}
I've tried code below but it doesn't work. The assigning process into array arr()() from DB is OK. Problem only come up if I try to find the distinct value (If Not (cat(j).Contains(ds.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(j))) ... End If).
For i = 0 To 2
list(i) = New Integer(3) {}
For j = 0 To 2

[wink]You'll notice i dim'd n as integer = 0...[/wink] hehe I need a bit of advice on how to find the largest number stored as data in an array. For example vote(0) = 6, and vote(3) = 12, and lets assume all the other vote(n) are less. How do I pick out the big one?

I am trying to find a set of missing values between an array and cell values from a DataGridView. The array is a set of numbers from 1 to a user-entered maximum number. For example, if the user enters 10, then the array will have the values 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. The rows in the DataGridView might have values such as 2,4,6,8. I want to create a second array that would have the values 1,3,5,7,9,10. I believe I need to loop through the array values and compare them to the row values in the DataGridView. But I'm stuck on the method of either adding or removing values (or doing nothing) to the second array as the array value loops through the DataGridView. logic or some VB Code that will produce the results I'm looking for?

Im trying to make an on access file scanner, YES I know that C++ is better, but this is a concept of thought, trying to challenge myself to see if its possible in vb.
Anyways, I have a list of Hex definitions, my question is, how can I index this list so I can access the definitions faster. A definition looks like this:
Eicar.Test.File.a=58354f2150254041505b345c505a583534285
The part after the equals sign is the HEX signature, while the first part is the name of the definition.
Basically what I am trying to do is index them somehow where I can scan faster, as I have over 60,000 definitions and I have to split each individual one in order to get the signature name. It takes about 45 seconds or so to scan a 500KB file. I need it to be WAY faster.

How do you declare an array when the array is initially empty?? I am taking multiple measurements from a meter that I want to put into an array. How would I declare that?? Here is my code to accept the last measured value.
HTML
Dim measResult as string
For I as Integer = 1 to 4
measResult = objDevice.gpibRead(i, 30) ''30 is the buffer size
Next
How can I set up measResult so it is an array that will hold all of the measurements from the meter?? I have tried Dim measResult() as string, Dim measResult() as String = objDevice.gpibRead(1, 30) but no luck.

Now suppose I want to get the position of the number 6
I know with a one-dimensional array i can use Array.indexOf() but what would my options be with 2-dimensional arrays?

Dim i As Integer = 0
Do Until MasterIndex(i) Is Nothing 'throws an exception here

Problem is, when I test this with an empty array, it gives me the error of Index was outside the bounds of the array at line 3. How do I fix this?

I am working on arrays and I am currently having trouble with searching and finding arrays. In this example, the user should be able to enter a Name, and it will output that person's stats.
Here is the text file (note, I should be able to go to this text file, add a few more names and the code should still work, which is why I am using loops,arrays,text files instead of if and else statements),
Kobe,29,6,4
Allen Iverson,28,7,4
Jason Kidd,12,10,9
So if the user enters Jason Kidd in the text box, this will display in another text box:
Jason Kidd averaged 12 points, 10 assist, and 9 rebounds.
[Code]...
All right now is the searching part. I really do know how to search for what the user entered and display the statement in a text box. I kind of have an idea of how to just get the name, but for it to get the name and then all the data for that name puzzles me even more.-I tried using .contain, indexof and few others.
I know to display the information in the text box will be something like:
textboxoutput.text = PlayerName & " averaged " & PlayerPoints & " points, " & PlayerAssist &" assist, and " PlayerRebounds " &" rebounds"
So basically, I want it to where the user can enter a basketball players name and display the values for that name.

I have an array set up to receive the names of forms when they open. The form name is sent as a Form not a String therefore when I run my code I cannot check for whether the field is empty in the normal way (ie. array(1) = "") as the "" are only usable with strings!
Dim Forms(24) As Form
Dim i As Integer
Dim Free As Integer = -1
[CODE]...
I only need a solution to do the same as array(1)="" but for windows forms.

I have a large one dimensional array that is called ArrayHold which is populated at runtime. I run a loop to scan through the array to find out which elements need to be removed based on a few parameters. This all works great, now I am left with two arrays. The original one and a new one which contains the locations of the elements to be removed.
Original Array: ("A")("B")("C")("D")("E")("F")("G")("H")
Second Array with index/count of elements that needs to be removed: ("0")("3")("5")("7")
End result should be preferably not in a new array but a "ReDim" of the original array:("B")("C")("E")("G")
What would be the simplest way to achieve this? I could run a loop to make all the elements that need to be removed "0" or ""? Would there be an easy way of resizing and array by dropping/removing all the white space or empty elements?

I have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

This must've have been asked before but I couldn't locate it. In a mixed code project (VB and C#) we were debugging some old Visual Basic code where a statement as follows could be found:
If Request.Params("xxx") <> "" Then
'do something
I considered this a bug as Request.Params could be null, in which case the statement would've become false which wasn't the idea. So I thought. I just found out, -- probably for the tenth time and I will keep forgetting -- that the following two statements are not equal, while Nothing in VB should be equal to null in C# (thought I):
if(String.Empty == null) // always false
If String.Empty = Nothing Then ' always true
Should I dismiss this as a typical Microsoft backward compatibility effort, or should I consider this a huge error in the VB.NET compiler? Does anybody know the Microsoftean opinion on this oddity?
