VS 2008 Search For Text In String
Jun 11, 2010I want to search a string (which contains html source of webpage)and get all text that strinh holds, like:
TC83886783380753647814458
TC27072318654272127623234
...
so, i want to find all text that is located in code between "serviceid=" and "&" (example how it would look in html source/in string: serviceid=TC27072318654272127623234&)
so the result would be only text in that format (starting with TC and 23 numbers following it)
I think i could do it by parsing a string somehow

Search Text File To See If String Is Present
Apr 10, 2012So I am trying to create a Win App to make copying files using Robocopy easier and eventually other tasks. Basically what I have so far is a Button that calls the Sub Robcopy_EXE. There is a tab on the form with 100 check boxes, one for each terminal, that will be designated by the user and a check box to determine if you want a detailed report or not from Robocopy. I also have a text box for the user to input the first 3 octets of the site IP Address. The check boxes and Input field are used to create string "Terminal_input" which is what runs Robocopy in CMD. Robocopy logs its progress to a text file that I have labeled "Status.txt". That is as far as I have gotten.

Read Text File / Search For String Then Add To Line And Write Back?
Nov 18, 2010I would like to read an HTML file, search each line to see if it starts with </head>. Then add the centering code after it. That line at destination file should read:
</head><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="760"align="center"><tr><td>
After this I don't care to search for anything. Just read from source and write to destination. I know there are programs out there to find/replace text in series of files but I am not allowed to use external programs.
VS 2010 : Search For Text Within A String (Starting Point And Ending Point)?
Dec 31, 2010I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.
