I have a string like this: mstring = "0123456789ABCDEF"
how can I get the vale at a given position, such as 12?
I know with PHP I can do this:
val = mstring{12}
and it will give me the twelfth value in the string, which would be "C"
is instr used in vb.net for this?

I am struggling to find a solution in string manipulation - I am trying to extract a certain part of the string element after the '=' character - say for ex. dim s as string = "/mysite/secondary.aspx?id=1005"
I am trying to get the string after the "=" and just to grab the 1005. I tried indexof and split, but i am not sure where i am going wrong.

View 2 RepliesI have a string
Example: Dim strList as String = "one;two;four;three;five;six;"
I want a function which will take in two values. a word, and a direction
Example: "three;" , "left"
I need to move move the given word "three;" further to the left until it finds the next occurance of ';'
Example: place the value "three;" just before the value "four;"
Result: "one;two;three;four;five;six;"
I will also need to move it to the right, assuming a direction of "right" is sent into my function. But I can figure that part out once I get the other concept working.
Dim str as string = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx£xxx£xxxx**£**xxxxxxxxxxI want to remove £ in the bold which is always at certain position (11th for instance) from the end. The whole string is a long one, always change in size and can't be counted from the start. Can't use Replace as well, there may be same characters at other positions that I don't wish to remove.

I wan't a method with which to find a string within another string. It should return the position of the first occurrence of the substring. (In VB 2008 !)
View 2 RepliesWhat would be the simplest way to find the n-th position of delimiter in a string.For example, say, I have a string variable called FullFilePath that contains the path of a file, like, C:SourceFiles<mthyr><subject><filename>.txt From this, I would like to extract out mthyr, subject, and filename, using the delimiter, "".
I was hoping string.IndexOf would let me find the n-th position of the delimiter "", in which case I can use the result to do a string.Substring. But it looks like IndexOf only finds the first occurence of a certain string, which means I would have to interate this somehow to look for the n-th occurence.
Or is there another method that will help me do this more efficiently.

I am reading a csv file in VB.net and saving the line to a SQL database. At a later point in my code, the SQL line is retrieved in the application, and the Split function is used to get 'field' values. The Split is done taking comma as the separator. The application processes many other files (including excel), and the split function is used for all of them. The problem I am now facing is that one of the csv files I read, has a field value that starts with " followed by multiple values separated by a comma and ends with another ". The normal reading of the csv file results in each of those single field values is taken to be a separate value.
An example line is:
Elker,MissB,"Bus, Taxi, Train, Ferry, Parking, Toll",800253
Where there should only be separated to 4 columns, they get separated to 9 columns instead. What I want to do is replaced the commas after 'Bus' and until 'Toll' with a '?' instead. I have tried using Replace, including the overloaded one with starting position, but it ends up replacing ALL the commas in the line with '?'
Attempt 1:
If vstrLine(intStartPos) = "," Then
strRetVal = Replace(vstrLine(intStartPos), ",", "?")
end if
Where vstrLine is Elker,MissB,"Bus, Taxi, Train, Ferry, Parking, Toll",800253
and intStartPos is the first instance of a comma after the "
It returns only the '?' and not the string with 1 comma replaced by '?'
Attempt 2:
If vstrLine(intStartPos) = "," Then
strRetVal = Replace(vstrLine, ",", "?", intStartPos)
end if
It returns a string with all commas replaced with '?'
far it works! But it work's too well. What I'm trying to do is insert a string of text at a certain index position of a text file, underneath a certain line of text. So far I have:
'Controls Var 16
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
If Mytempstring.Contains("zrandomtextz=0") = True Then
Mytempstring = Mytempstring.Replace("zrandomtextz=0", "zrandomtextz=1")
ElseIf Mytempstring.Contains("zrandomtextz=") = False Then
[Code]...
It's inserting the text, but it's inserting it at every line of text in the file. So instead of one instance of "zrandomtextz" underneath "xinserttextx" I get "zrandomtextz" before every single line in the file. Can someone please help me as this has been an issue for months now? Edit: There are quite a few lines above this one, as in 50-150, so I removed all of the above section, however I can assure you that whenever it is simply replacing then writing to file it works flawlessly, it's only now that I'm having problems and this is when I try to insert new stuff under stuff.
I want to select a random space in a string and replace it with a word (%word%) but there is a problem. The position cannot be fixed as i want it to be inserted at a random break. Few things which iam considering :
1)break the string at a space and merge it with the word
2) find a random space and replace it with the word. I like this point and so far all i have is break the selectedtext into string array and then iterate over each line. But i don't know how to find a random string position? Any short and sweet code please?

I have an application in VB.NET which gets string data from the database. This string has data which looks as below:
"This is the update: I have an issue with the application"
I need only part of the data, that comes after the new line i.e. "I have an issue with the application".
For this I am trying to search the position using InStr where the string has data in a new line. I tried many options, but they don't work.
I used "vbCrLf", Chr(13), "
", "
", "<br/>", Environment.NewLine, but none of them work.
How can I get the data I need?
I'm outputting a number of variables to a text file and each field needs to be in a specific place.For example:I have a string that is varying in length, but will never be more than 5 characters. The string has to end on the 8th character of the line. Is there a way to write the string to ensure that the string ends at a specific place on the line, regardless of the length?

View 2 RepliesI have looking for a tutorial or class that demonstrates more than a trivial example of saving a windows position on closing. The ones I have found don't seem to work on all systems because of:
1. Multiple monitors. (and resolution between those monitors)
2. Toolbar size and position (toolbar is only on the primary monitor, well sometimes)
3. Sometimes the programs dont open on the right monitor they were closed on.
Is there an extensive class or tutorial on all the stuff a programmer needs to get right to have a window size and position persisted between executions?

I also have a function that returns ALL tiles on the map and they're X, Y position. How could I find out which one is closest to the position I specify? I can't figure out how to go about it. how to implement it with this. Heres a MADE UP example if what I'm trying to do:
Dim MyPosition as New Position()
MyPosition.X = 400
MyPosition.Y = 400

Now, I can already do the stuff above, but what I need to make is something like this:
tList.GetTileClosestToPosition(MyPosition)
I have two forms: Main and Options.Main can be moved around the screen (like a normal window).When the user clicks a button, the Options form opens up and the Main form HIDES.How do I set the Options form to open in the exact place that the Main form was last on the screen (to give it the effect the MAIN form never went into hidding)I was thinking to set Option form's StartPosition to Main's current position, but I don't know the syntax for that or if it's even something you can do.
