Oct 9, 2011substring and the indexOf method
I have this problem that I'm going in circles on. The error message is "no accessible IndexOf can be called with these arguments."
My professor said that "to search for the string Los Angeles and substring will return it from the textbox, but it needs to know what position to start returning a word at, and that is where the IndexOf comes in." Does that mean substring and IndexOf are used together? That's what I did and may be the problem. Here's the code:

Substring And The IndexOf Method?
Oct 7, 2011My assignment in Visual Basic 2010 is to build a order form that has two text boxes, one for the name and the other for the address. And we're suppose to use the IndexOf method on the address. I understand that IndexOf returns the position of a character and the number of characters. What would be the purpose of using the IndexOf method on the address in this instance? I don't understand what I would be searching for when the user types in it's address that's going to be numbers and string characters. I think I understand what the IndexOf method does, somewhat, but why and what would I use it to achieve?
View 3 RepliesC# - Prepend A Substring If The Source String Does Not Begin With The Same Substring?
Oct 10, 2011I'm trying to create a valid RegEx replacement pattern for correctly formatting specific .XML file names. Specifically, if a file name does not begin with a prefix, let's say, ACE_. If the XML file name and extension does not begin with ACE_, prepend the string ACE_ to the file name.For example, if my input source string is the following:
Widgets.xml
I would like to execute a single RegEx Replacement that would result in the string being:
ACE_Widgets.xml.
Conversely, if the string already begins with ACE_, I would like it to remain unchanged. Also,how can I include the pattern ".xml" to ensure that the string pattern for the file name and extension ends with ".xml" in the same matching pattern for the RegEx Replacement pattern? As for the match, I have some luck with the following:
^ACE_{1}[dD]+
Which indicates there is a match for the pattern if the input string is ACE_Widgets.xml and no match if the string is Widgets.xml
The RegEx pattern would suffice, but if you need to know the language in which I'd like to use the replacement pattern is in .NET 4.0 in either C# or VB.NET.
The following posting is close to what Im looking for, but with the inclusion of the *ix directory path prefix, and the use of preg_replace() in PHP, I'm having a bit of a struggle getting it to work with what I need to do:

Finding The Position Of Certain Delimiter Using String.IndexOf?
Jul 28, 2009What 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.

VS 2008 String IndexOf And Remove VS Regex?
Oct 11, 2009I have a string with 60000+ characters. I look for informations inside the string in a sequentially order. Every time I found a information I delete whatever is behind that information. In other words I reduce the size of the string every time I find something, and I do this using IndexOf and Remove, much like this:
vb.net Str = Str.Remove(0, Str.IndexOf("MyInfo"))
This can be quite heavy on the processor. So my question is it faster to look the informations using Regex or it would be about the same?

Public Member 'IndexOf' On Type 'DataRowView' Not Found

Error - IndexOf' Is Not A Member Of 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection' - (BC30456)
May 20, 2012I'm having trouble with a more complex program, so I've created a simple program to highlight my issue (see code block below). When I declare a Collection generically (like I have below) and try to call IndexOf, I get the following compiler error:
'IndexOf' is not a member of 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection'. (BC30456)
If I instead declare my Collection as a collection of strings (Public mycollection As New Collection(Of String)), I then have access to the usual methods, but the .Add method then only allows a single string to be passed to it. This means that I can't use a key, which seems to be the point of a collection. Is there any way to have a general, keyed collection that can use IndexOf?

Forms :: Integer Value Changing When Compare Cell Data By Using 'IndexOf' Feature?
Sep 17, 2010I have a program that is reading an Excel (xlsx) file and I am trying to take the data found in one of the cells and split it based upon the '@' symbol inside that cell. Here's an example: value in cell is "XXX @ YYY" I declare 3 strings (strOriginal, strA, strH) strOriginal is the value from the cell ("XXX @ YYY") then my code is supposed to split up the values in the Original string based upon that '@' symbol.So when my code is done, strA should = 'XXX' and strH should = 'YYY'.
Here is my code
strOriginal = dtbExcelData.Rows(0).Item(0).ToString
y = strOriginal.IndexOf("@")
strA = strOriginal.Substring(0, y - 1)
[code]....
For some unknown reason, the y integer (in this case, it is '4') changes to a random number (it has changed to 44, 61, 124) and causes the error "Error with Excel file: Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length" to occur.I understand why the error occurs (my y integer is not staying at 4)...I just don't understand why that y integer is changing numbers when it should remain as the indexof the '@' symbol. I'm looking for any suggestions on how to pull out the data after the space after the '@' symbol (the 'YYY' portion of 'XXX @ YYY'). Also sometimes the 'YYY' is only 'YY' as well.

Copy The List Of Principal User To Arraylist To Use Arraylist.indexof?
Dec 1, 2011What I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.
