Function To Search And Replace A String?
May 15, 2009
I have a VB .NET String. How can I search that string for a character string and replace it with another string?
For example:
Dim rValue As
String = sproc.ExecuteScalar()
' rValue now has the XML string <indracio fire height=23, width - 6>
/* This is the string that I want to search. Replace the words "indracio fire" with the word "lucion time"
How can I search this string for the words "indracio fire" , and replace with the word "lucion time" ?

I am writing a program and I have the Read Function all written out. I need to have the write function. I think is I copied and pasted from the Read function I wrote.
I was able to Mass edit This:
Reader.Position = (&H)
NumericUpDown281.Value = Reader.ReadInt16()
Reader.Position = (&H)
NumericUpDown280.Value = Reader.ReadInt16()
Reader.Position = (&H)
[Code] .....
And there is at least 370 NumericUpDown's. Is there any way to search/find/replace all in one instead of typing:
Find what: NumericUpDown320.Value = writer.WriteInt16()
Replace with: writer.WriteInt16(NumericUpDown320.Value)
Each individually?
The write function will only write properly this way:
writer.Position = (&H)
writer.WriteInt16(NumericUpDown66.Value)
And not this way:
writer.Position = (&H)
NumericUpDown319.Value = writer.WriteInt16()

I have a non standard text file, ie its not delimted etc, its pretty much free flowing. What I want to do is to search for a specifc string eg. "xyz123" and then replace it with what a user types into a text box, lets call the text box and its contents "txtreplace".
I am trying to replicate a find and replace function essentially, but will need to tailor it later on down the line, but this will be a starting point.

I found this function that replaces multiple substrings within a string on the internet but it gives an error on one of the parameters.It doesn't like this one:
ByVal ParamArray FindChars()) As String
Can you look at the code and correct the error since I don't yet know about explicitly typed parameters?

I have the following code:
Dim lStatementText As String
Dim lStatementString As New System.Text.StringBuilder
lStatementString.Append(RndRes.Forms.txt_request)
lStatementString.Append(" ")
lStatementString.Append("<b><a>")
[Code]...
Where Request.ID, Request.Description and also RndRes.Forms.txt_* are all strings. I want to display the string I build up here in a Infragistics FormattedLinkLabel. The problem is that if any of the strigs from the Request class contains a HTML character, the label is not displayed properly and the HTML encoding is broken.I need to find a function that masks the HTML codes.

how to remove or replace specific characters from a string. The code sample is provided contains a VBScript function to parse a string, replacing or removing any character found in the array declared at the beginning of the function.VBScript String Clean Function - Remove/Replace Illegal CharatersThe function was originally writted to remove illegal characters found in a string for use as a document file name in SharePoint Document Library.To use the function, simply update the array at the beginnning of the function to include all of the characters which are to be removed or replaced. If replacing specific characters with something else, the you will need to set inside the finction the string which will replace each character if found.The VBScript function then returns a cleaned string.VBScript String Clean Function - Remove/Replace Illegal CharatersBlogs: SharePoint Development | Web Development & Programming | Webmaster resources & free SEO

The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.

Im making a search function for an application and they need to be able to search by any value in the DB in any of the three tables. Im wondering the best wayto about this. 2 of the 3 tables have the same columns while the last one is totally different. Below is what I kinda "thought" itd look like but no.
"SELECT * FROM cases, opencases, staff WHERE Crime ='" & txtsearch.Text.ToString & "'"
I need to query the results the user can search for anyterm and if it matches something in the columns it return it to the user. Im wondering if the best way to go about this is to maybe query all the tables and then put all the matching records in a seperate table and the dgv look at that table or how to exactly go about it.

I have a 133 Mb file which contains almost a million records. Currently, a user loads this file into KEdit (a great editor for working with large files) and changes occurrences of a dollar sign $ to blank and takes negative numbers represented as such with parentheses and changes that to a negative sign. That is, (5000.23) would become -5000.23. So the leading ( becomes a - and the trailing ) becomes a blank. I believe the only occurrences of ( and ) are around the numbers I want to change, so I don't have to worry about changing something that should have been left alone. Using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008, is there a "painless" way to do this other than reading the file one record at a time and searching/replacing and writing the record out? While not really painful, I am worried about how long that will take (to run, not to code ). Is that a valid concern?
My long range goal is to automate many of the routine file preparation tasks my users do. We get an input file from 15 clients. The file can be in any format the client has chosen to give us, and it is our burden to reformat any errant fields into an acceptable format for insertion into our database.

Problem: Your task is to take input from the user in string and give the following options to the user in a menu.
1- Find a String
2- Create sub-string
3- Erase a portion of a sting
4- Replace a word in the string
5- Count number of words and characters in the string without spaces.
6- Capitalize first character of each new sentence and convert the rest
of the characters to lower case.
7- Sort all the words in alphabetical order. (Use Bubble sort algorithm to perform sorting).
To perform all the above mentioned tasks you can only use pointers. Create a function to perform every task.
