I have a text document. i want to click a button and 10 random words out of the 196000 words shown in a textbox or listbox.
View 5 RepliesI have a text file that includes a list of first names, each on their own separate line.
What I am trying to do is to find a way to click on my button and have my app open the list and randomly grab a name and place it into a textbox.
I would include some code but I'm not even sure where to begin.
I'm thinking that I will need to code the button to use the openfiledialog..create an algorithm to use a random copy line and return it into the textbox.

View 3 RepliesI seem to have a huge issue right now trying to grab different pieces of a string to place them in a different order in a list. Unfortunately i can't just find the placeholders for the strings and extract the data that way so i was using indexOf to find commas in the string provided. the problem i'm having is that i can assign the first comma and extract 0 - "," but i'm stuck on how to progress the indexof so it will move through the string submitting everything between the comma's.

If i have a line in a txt document "text.txt".Now what i want to do is open the file and read the contents.
When it find this "search.selectedEngine" term then it should delete that particular line and replace it with another string ("REPLACED STRING").
I am quite puzzled here. I have a program inwhich when the user clicks on the command button, a random line should appear but only once. I am storing each line with different variables. Right now i have the random line coming up but it is repeating itself. For instance, when i click on the button, line 1 appear, then line 4, and them line 1 again. How can i stop the line 1 to show again?

The string itself contains things like "random" & random.next(1,3) & "random2" etc. The string registers all of this as a string and doesn't actually calculate random numbers.Is there any way to fix this?

making a VB application which chooses a random line for a file, sets it as the value of a Label (word) and also adds it to a ListBox (list) when a Button (nextbut) is pressed. I also want it to keep going.
Button; Text: Next
Name: nextbut
Label; Name: word
Listbox;Name: list
What i need it to do is to load a line from a file ("C:words.txt" for example) and set it as the value f the label. The lines are different lenghts.
I got a little program that generates a random line of text from a .txt file and all is working well, at least for the most part.
On occasion I get an error message popup saying "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: Index."
Here's my code:

The last bit is where the random number is generated, which I am guessing where the problem itself is, but am unsure as to how to fix it...

I have googled this but all it comes up with is some C# and how to read a file line by line which is not what I want, what do you have to use to do this I tried this loop:
for each line in str
msgbox (line)
next
but it does not work, how do I get this to work?
For example I have a strint containing text with more than 1 line. For example:
"Hello How Are You"
I want to read a specific line of the string, if I choose to read line 1 of the string in a messagebox then the word "How" will probably pop up.
I've made a function in C# to create a random string, but I wanted to convert it to VB.NET, unfortunately my knowledge of Visual Basic is much less than my knowledge of C#.
Here is my VB.NET function:
CODE:
As you will see, its not much different from my C# version, except that since VB can take an optional parameter, I allow the user to select what characters to use in the string, or just use the default ones.
Here's the C# version of my function:
CODE:
Again, there's not much different, but the part I'm really struggling on is the conversion between what is the 12th line of VB code, and the 13th line of C# code. I didn't really know how to convert it to VB.NET (as I said, my knowledge of it is very limited), so I used an online converter. The result of the online converter runs with no errors, however when I try to call the function, no string appears.
In short, this C# code works fine:
CODE:
However, this VB.NET code doesn't work:
CODE:
How could I fix my VB.NET code?
