I need to make it: Get a New word or phrase from a text file Be able the user to guess the whole word have some validation so you can only type in spaces and letters using their ASCII values This is what I have done so far but it is asking me to declare "i" when my teacher says we dont have to:
Dim NewPhrase As String
Dim PhraseHasBeenSet As Boolean
Dim PhraseGuessed As Boolean

I am trying to make a program which goes through the HTML code of a page and then searches for a certain phrase. I have gotten up to the point of executing a search on a site and then dumping the html code of the body.How would I go about doing this?
The phrase I'm looking for is "<tr><td><a
href=javascript:d(87178)>Name of File</a></td><td>Date Submitted</td><td>Likelyness
to work(%)</td></tr>
All I would need to do is find the number inside of the parenthesis (87178) in this example and I THINK I'm good to roll, so how would I do that?

Here's what I have so far:

I'm working on a problem where i have to allow a user to input a word or phrase and then determine if it is a palindrome (a words that reads the same forwards and backwards) . It also says that the program should use a Boolean-valued function procedure named IsPalindrome that returns the value True when the word or phrase is a palindrome and the value False otherwise.

I'm trying to find a way to have text that would be "Live" as in if a user types an incorrect phrase/letter in a text box, a message will appear prior to a "save" button being pressed. It's pretty much the same as when you're registering on these forums, it checks the availabilty of the username as you type it.

I ran into this assignment that asks me to "create an application that allows the user to enter a word or phrse, then the Label should display that word or phrase backwards in all lowercase. For example, I enter "I read" Then the label should display "daer I" I try to do this with "Substring, Replace, etc", butnone of them work. Is there any particular method to achieve this assignment?

It returns the word and the scripture the word is in, but it also isreturning a bunch of weird text like: archan78988yykp etc etc. How do I onlyreturn the scripture with the searchedword, in this case the searched word is love. The code I am using is as follows:

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?

Alright. I have a project I need to complete by 11:00 am today. I need a program that will allow a user to input a phrase into a text box. Another text box to input a letter. Then I need the program to count how many times, the letter appears in the phrase. I have everything set up. I know how to count how many characters are in the string, but not how many designated letters there is.

I'm trying to identify if the input of a textbox is non numerical, which cannot be converted to an integer/double for calculation. I do this by converting the input1.text to ascii, and looking at the value to determine the type of input. My question is whether there is any way I can analyze the whole input character by character? Asc() only gives the ascii value of the first character, but what if the input is "9W" etc? Such inputs will pass my character test, but cannot be converted to an integer.

I have a label that is supposed to display a word for 5 seconds and then move down the list in a text file and display the next word.I'm oddly able to make it work in random mode, but not going down the list in order.. random would be ok if used words didn't come up again.
Code:
Dim DurHold As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath & "FlashWords.txt")
Dim DurDelimiters() As String = {vbNewLine}
Dim DurTextLines() As String = DurHold.Split(DurDelimiters, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

So I found some code that I am customizing for my needs. So far I get it to browse for a Word file, open that file, and create XML from that document - right now it maps word styles to tags. So, if I had the word "Test" in the document, and it was bold, the output would be <b>Test</b>. Does anyone know of a good function for finding key words in a Word Doc, and then putting that into a tag? For example, if I had:[code]You'll have to excuse my inexperience at this, but I am new to working with accessing certain words in a document and transforming to XML.

I have a problem, this is what I want to do. Let's say I have a text document that contains:
Male = "True"
Female = "False"
I want to make the code search for the line including Female, and then take the word in between the "", so I get false. Then I want to change that to True.

Here's some information on how you'd read it. First, you'd read in the file, where inFilename is the path to your text file, using FileStream to access the file, and StreamReader to read the data from the text file:
[Code]...
Next, you'd read the data from the text file into a string array, splitting the array on each new line character. (Each line in the text file is a new member of the array)
[Code]...
Now that you're done reading in the text file, you can close the streamreader and filestream so that the text file isn't still using resources or holding any type of lock(s) on the file

Am writing a windows app using vb.net 2005. The app captures a string variable from the user. As each file within a directory is read, I want to match the stored string within each file. If I find a match to the string, I want a list box to be populated with the name of the file. I have added Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions and tried using the match collection.
For example: My direcotry has 5 text files. I want to match a string "PARENT" in the text of all these 5 files. The list box should output the name of each file where the string was found.
