I saw a built in function in VBscript a while back that converted a string with spaces to an array. However I can't remember the name and I looked it up in a few function listings and couldn't find it. Since almost all the functions that are in VBcript are in VB.NET I was wondering if anyone remembered the name of the function.
View 2 RepliesMy program uses parameters from the calling program in this format
parameter1/parameter2/parameter3
parameter2 is a datafile path which may sometimes have a space like :
C:Program Files est company
I did this as a work around
Sub Main(ByVal Args() As String)
dim cArgs as string=""
Dim J As Integer
For J = 0 To Args.Length - 1
cArgs = cArgs & " " & Args(J)
Next
And then used the string split function. Is there a proper way to work with spaces?
As the title says I have a form with many databound textboxes. some of these boxes have data in them and some are empty. I need to add them altogether, so far all of the conversion methods I have tried err out when they run into an empty string, except Val, but then Val won't handle the string with a $ in it. I've tried decimal.parse which handles the $ but not the empty string. So I seem to be in circle that I can't get out of.
View 2 RepliesI have the following code:
Public Shared Function GetListAsString(ByVal data As List(Of String)) As String
Dim retVal As String = "| "
For Each obj As String In data[cod
It converts a List to a printable String. Right now it is set up to work with just Lists. I feel as if it should be able to work with any type of Collection. I am new to Collections and generics.When I attempt to do something like
Public Shared Function GetListAsString(ByVal data As Collection(T)) As String
Dim retVal As String = "| "
For Each obj As String In data.ToString()[code].....

I am trying to write a code that converts characters in string using a case select statements. For instance if I type the word "aeiou" the the word "<>[]/", also if I type "AEIOU" then <>[]/" should print but its not working here is a sample of my code so far.

I want the Function to accept List(Of String), Array & String and similarly return List(Of String), Array & String respectively. The Function simply adds a string (month) to the input collection. I just want to use it for string, array and list with needing to think of conversions.

Public Function Foo() as String() Dim bar As String = {"bar1","bar2","bar3"}
Return bar End Function
My situation is similar to the code sample above where I'm returning a string array from a function.
What I would like to do is just return the string array without having to declare a variable first and then return the variable.Something like this, although this obviously doesn't work:
Return {"bar1","bar2","bar3"}
Is it possible to do this, I can't seem to find a method that works?

SerialPort1.Write(buildpacket(useraddress,252,"0006","0") for the function listed below.My challenge.Create equivalent functionality for Socket BeginSend() which requires a byte array.Whether modifying the vb.net below or getting a c# equivalent to work, it has been repeatedly recommended to scrap the string concatenation approach for which I have to use Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetBytes() and then getting rid of extra bytes with zero values.
I'm lacking in imaging something different which would work for socket programming directly and allow me to eliminate all the hassles that c# integer conversions into string value that can be encoded trouble free.I would need to call the equivalent of the following that would return a byte array rather than a string with the following arguments

i have string like
Dim Test as String = "abc " & " def"
what above code does is gives is "abc def" as output, what i want is "abc--------def" (where hash sign is spaces i need) i have tried
Dim Test as String = "abc----" & "----def"
for some reason (dot)net only takes it as one single space. check above(1) example ,i gave two spaces but it got converted to one space.
Dim Test as String = "abc" & Char(9) & "def"
doesn't work (found char(9) solution on internet)
Dim Test as String = "abc" & space(8) & "def"
doesn't work I have tried another 10 different option but none seems to be working for me.
I want to be able to find both spaces using the indexof method. Here's my code so far. Basically the program will turn the string "Will Smith" to "Smith, Will" But I noticed when I type in a name with a middle initial or middle name "Will J Smith" I would get "J Smith, Will" And I want to be able to find that second space when its there and apply a code that would produce "Smith, Will J" When there is a second space. How would I go about doing so?

Is there a way to take an integer, say 10, and convert that to 10 spaces? What I've got is a text field that the users enters a number. I then need to convert that number into spaces and insert those spaces into a string of text. I've found several places to convert text to an integer but not the other way around.
View 5 Replieslets say I had a string variable that contained "Hello World!", (or whatever the string contained) how would i remove the the right most spaces to make it say "Hello World" (im reading in items from a text file using substrings that has fixed positions with one line of the text containing several different items) or does it automatically eliminate the right most spaces???

I used a regular expression, which handles both numbers and letters in strings of arbitrary length, in one line of code.

I'd like to take numeric strings of arbitrary length and insert a space every 2 characters.
So 1233456 becomes 12 33 45 6. Is there a way I can use format as string or IFormatProvider, like? That would put a limit on how long the string could be though, right? Since I'm casting to a long.

I have a string that I need to place to a file, but when I do place it to file, it gets cut off at the space, and the words after the space are placed to a new line. So I decided to place an underbar in place of all spaces, to avoid that problem. So how can I search the string for spaces and replace each with an underbar?

View 6 Repliesformat a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?For example, a decimal value of 12.3456 should be output as " 12.3" with single leading space. 10.011 would be " 10.0". 123.123 is "123.1" I'm looking for a solution, that works with standard/custom string formatting, i.e.
decimal value = 12.345456;
Console.Write("{0:magic}", value); // 'magic' would be a fancy pattern.

P.S. This was a VB6 command line app that I just converted to VB.net & the behaviour only occurs in the VB.net version. It's being called in many places at the moment, so don't really want to have to manually go through all calls & add double quotes around the whole argument.

when i am in debugger mode, i look at fields, and every element has a line of the string but all the spaces and tabs are removed.
I'm implementing a feature which reads comma separated txt file from server(one line at a time). Format of file is fixed, There are 3 columns on each row. After reading the row from file I insert it in a database table. But first value of each row aoutomatically appends two blank spaces, even if there are no blank spaces at the begining of each row. I tried to use "TRIM/LTRIM/Replace" to remove blank spece from the first value of each row, but didn't succeed.

I'm writing a macro to let me replace the spaces in a string in my code file with underscores. I've gotten as far as finding the beginning and end of the string as instances of VirtualPoint. Now I'm trying to select from the first VirtualPoint to the second. And I can't figure it out. I know the VirtualPoints are correct, because I'm using MessageBox.Show to tell me their values when I run the macro. I just don't know the correct command to set the TextSelection from the first to the second. I've tried this: [Code]

View 3 RepliesI have a program that goes through SQL statements, identifying component parts with a space. eg: -

Would produce the following as separate components: -

The problem I have however is the use of spaces within values eg.:-
SELECT * FROM tblSales WHERE CustomerNameID='Test Company' AND Year=2011
