View 9 RepliesFunction to test first char of string
View 9 RepliesI need to test a string of text that needs to contain a certain type of char values. The known is allowing of a-z,A-Z,0-9. But the variable (which will be coming from a database field) will be the allowed symbols. The allowed symbols will look something like:!@#$%^&*()
So using regex, how can I check a string of text to make sure it ONLY contains a-z,A-Z,0-9 AND the allowed symbols as shown above? Remember, the allowed symbols is dynamic at run time so I need to somehow be able to plug that in to the method at run time.
The following examples would be valid using the above symbol string:
Test1234%
Test1234
The following example would NOT be valid:Test1234%_

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

Anyone have an idea what the issue could be? If I run similar code in VB6 (only diff is mtStatus = String(mtValueSize, Chr$(0)) ) it returns what I expect.
So I want to test one of my Functions in my Web Project, but it's not actually connected to anything in the project yet (someone else is working on that part). The Function takes in an "ID" field, goes off and does some queries and gets some data, performs some calculations on it, and then writes a bunch of lines to a FileStream and returns that stream. I pretty much just want to test it by having it write the file to my own computer locally, and working with that file directory after the Function completes.
So my question is mainly:
1) How do I call this Function just for testing purposes so I can test all the queries/calculations/File writes, etc without it being connected to another part of the application just yet.
2) How can I change the 'Return fs' for the FileStream to write to my own computer locally to view the file that has been written.
I have built a DataTable from my database. Then I am looping through the rows and trying to access a string, however the value is being returned as each character in the string.

The Trap_Code values are two or three letter strings, the returned value is each letter once at a time. The loop seems to cycle through the individual characters of the string as an array rather than display the entire value, which is what I was hoping for.
The following code:
If checkboxList.Items(i).Selected Then
.Fields("DESC1").Value += checkboxList.Items(i).Text + ", "
End If
should produce output such as "A, B, C,(space)", which will then be bound to a dynamically created GridView. I would like to remove the last two-char string, that is ",(space)". How can I do this?

what is the best way to remove FileFinder1 from this string:
"C:Program FilesFileFinder1"
Basically the first letter of a string must be a certain letter. At the moment the only way I know how to do it is as follows:
If sConsignmentNo(0) = "J" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "C" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "U" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "N" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "H" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "S" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "V" Then
Basically listening the same thing out over and over. Is there a way I can say, If sConsignmentNo(0) = ListOfValidEntries i.e J,C,U,N etc?

I have written my own function, which in C would be declared like this, using standard Win32 calling conventions:int Thing( char * command, char * buffer, int * BufSize);I have the following amount of VB figured out, which should import the dll and call this function, wrapping it up to make it easy to call Thing("CommandHere",GetDataBackHere).UPDATE:This code is now a working solution, as shown here:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System
Imports System.Text

Updates: I got the code to build by following the help received here, and then I had forgot the As Return Type (which got me a MarshalDirectiveException PInvokeRestriction). Then I had an assertion failure inside my DLL, which lead to an SEHException. Once fixed, this works BEAUTIFULLY. There are newsgroups where people are saying this can not be done, that VB only loads managed dll assemblies (which I guess is the normal thing most VB users are used to).
I have a string like this.
Dim str As String = "code"

I would like to find the index where the letter d is at, so I can get the number 3.
I managed to do it by looping through each letter in the string, but that doesn't sound very convenient.
my question is how can i check a string for a specific char (for example, in the string:"242.421" theres the char "." how can i make a rule so that char can only be typed once... (in a textbox) so when a user click the "." button on their keyboard it won't allow it again (more than once)

I am developping an app which talks across a network and will eventually be used to read in a text file (on the client) and transfer it to the server. Currently, the server and client succesfully connect to each other using the Tcplistener/Tcpclient classes. I am now trying to send some data across the network using the networkstream class, which I have implemented.Currently for testing purposes i am sending a char array which contains the characters "hello" which succesfully sends and outputs to console on the server. Although, "hello" is followed by a long list of whitespaces. I have tried converting this to a string array on the server and/or client and using the string.Trim() function (amongst trying many other things over the past couple of hours) although the output remains the same.
